Title: The Movie Topic (films recently watched, general discussion, etc)
Post by: 4th Eye on Mar 02, 2005, 12:31 PM
The spotless mind -thread is stuffed with village-talk, so I think this is needed. And I watched some movies yesterday that weren't ESOTSM or Village....

So I saw Meet The Fockers which was quite funny but didn't come up to the first part though Hoffman and Streisand were brilliant as Greg's parents.

I also watched The Bourne Supremacy. It was nice entertaining action but once again sequels rarely top the precursors. Maybe I was expecting more since I really liked The Bourne Identity. There's also a new Bourne-movie coming up around 2007.

And I hear good things about Constantine. I might go see it next weekend...

I can't remember when it came to theaters though they still play it in here. But I watched it on my computer. Now I'm gonna watch The Terminal. I've heard the movie and Tom Hanks' performance are good.

Xiu Xiu: The Sent Down Girl is a movie i recently purchased. it is very good, it was banned from China because of its content, which was a true story of things that happened in China, like young girls being forced to leave their families to do labour along the country-line for many years at a time. during which time a lot of the older men, and leaders of the project, would sex the little girls.

you don't think clint deserved director?? in some ways, i think that he did a better job directing Million Dollar Baby than he did Mystic River. however, i liked Mystic River as a whole much better. (mostly b/c of sean penn and if i remember correctly it was an original screenplay...maybe??) I just think the cinematography in MDB was some of clint's best work to date.

mystic river was also based on a book so it definitely wasnt an original screenplay.


i felt penn's performance was overrated and didnt deserve the oscar (bill should have got it).  but tim more than deserved it.


and i like MDB more.  definitely more emotional.  MR was too much of a typical crime movie with an amazing performance by Tim Robbins. would have been terrible if not for the performances.

MDB however kept me intrigued and emotionally sucked in. not to mention the interesting twist.  the whole daughter thing was pointless though.

haha. yeah that was a bit stupid.
i'm just glad aviator didn't win. that movie was not very interesting/good at all. if you're martin scorcese and you're going to make a film about howard hughes and focus soley on his flying career without going into much detail about what he REALLY did for the film industry was retarded imo. i mean he produced and had a lot to do with some of the better films of all time. it would have been really cool to see him fighting the industry about Scarface. all you saw was a silly poster on the wall.

I have yet to see Mystic River. In fact, Million Dollar Baby is the first Clint Eastwood film I've seen. Basing on first opinion, he seems overrated, but I have yet to see others.

saw Blue Velvet this weekend for the first time. i enjoyed it, however, i enjoyed Lost Highway and Twin Peaks: A Fire Walk.... better. even Mulholland Dr. was more enjoyable to me. i think i like more psychological David Lynch more than structural/composition David Lynch. In a couple of weeks we're watching Eraserhead in my film history class. Anyone seen it??

Blue Velvet is a great film, but I agree with Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me and Lost Highway being better, but Mulholland Drive being the best out of the bunch.

Eraserhead is a movie that should not be watched at 2 in the morning. I had dreams that were weirder than Lynch's films, but nonetheless a great film. I consider it his creepiest one.

What's your guys' take on Doom (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0419706/)? I hear it's only loosely based on the game and is probably going to be PG-13. The game is one of my favorites and I wish they just don't rape the name but actually have something from the games. But who knows...I can't judge it yet.

apparantly The Rock (who's going to be in the movie) was on The Daily Show and said it would be R rated. so it won't end up like AvP at least. but with The Rock being the only big name in the movie, I doubt it'll be good anyways.

im waiting to see batman begins.

i was always a batman fan cause he's more realistic than some other hero with magical powers and shit. i think the only good batman movie is Batman Returns. thats it. cause i think it was the darkest out of every one.

and this new one looks like it's going to be cool. christian bale is a good choice for batman. he was pretty pyschotic in american pyscho. and im sure he's going to play the part well.

ill just wait and see.

the scarecrow is going to be played by that guy from 28 Days Later or something. and the other guy is going to be played by that Ken guy from The Last Samurai.

Also, new superhero movies include Fantastic Four. The cast looks good and actually might look something like the comic book heroes.

I agree with one weak.

For one, the acting was really flat. It was really disappointing seeing Uma Thurman and Harvey Keitel in this. Such great actors, but you could tell they were bored with this movie, too.

For two, it tried way too hard to be funny. Out of the two hours I wasted on that movie, I only laughed once and I can barely call it laughing.

Three, all this movie was was for name-dropping. There must've been literally a hundred things name-dropped throughout the whole film. Must've been desperate.

Four, it lasted way too long for a story that could have been told in less than five minutes. I kept checking every half hour what the time was. How sad.

Five, it never had time to establish characters. They tried to make this movie fast pace, which was a really bad idea. We never feel for these characters, so we never really care for their misfortunes.

I like a movie with substance, not something that was just made to please the masses, which is very apparent with this film. But I saw Girl With A Pearl Earring, which makes up for tonight's film. I like how Scarlett had more of her emotions speak for themselves rather than her lines.

yeah. exactly right on. it's just funny that the director was trying to be so self-relfexive abou the film industry and its flaws, but he just made it even more alienated and subjective to the people who go out and see stupid "movies" on the weekend. haha....i'm drunk, i dunno know

i'm glad at least some people actually saw some good films this weekend. i watched Tokyo Story on Friday, but it was for a class, and while it was a very good film, i always have trouble participating in films that i'm assigned to see at a certain time....especially on fridays. haha

however, if anyone is interested in a very good Japanese film, Tokyo Story is not onyl beautiful composition, but a very heartfelt story. warning: not karate, kung fu, whatever that shit is...it's just a very well told story of family relationship and tragedy.

I saw Xiu Xiu: The Sent-down Girl today. Great film, but utterly depressing. I felt uncomfortable during some scenes because my ten year old soon-to-be-step-sister was watching it with me, and it just so happened she came in to the scenes with the sex in it. But other than that, I enjoyed the film. The scenery in the film is so beautiful and the girl who played Wen Xiu (Xiu Xiu), Lu Lu, is awesome.

i have to do a sound/editing presentaion tomorrow on any film that exhibits those qualities well.

i think i'm gonna do PI. that scene where Max ivestigates the brain on the steps. every time he pokes the brain with his pen, the foley sound of the train horn + another piercing noise. i think that it will work really well, and Aronofsky does a great job of incorporating foley sound with the score. plus the editing and overall compositon of the black and white is so awesome in that scene. not to metion the whole film.

it's funny cause i haven't watched this film in such a long time, and i had forgotton how great it is.

btw, chickdelalych i'll have to see Xiu Xiu... i've heard great things about that but haven't had time to see it. glad i got a good review out of someone though because i would have forgotten about it otheriwse. :oops:

This weekend I watched Pitch Black and Audition. Pitch Black was a positive surprise (though I've seen it few years ago but couldn't remember much) and I must say it had Vin Diesel's best performance so far. Good sci-fi action.

The first 80 minutes of Audition was quite boring but some scenes in the end were weird and disturbing. Ichi The Killer was better, I'd say...more blood, more fun. :wink:

I was laughing my ass off when I saw it. That kid, Toshiba or some Panasonic was hilarious though maybe it was just my twisted sense of humor...The movie overally was quite regular stuff.

agreed. terrrible acting and terrible story. in all truth, i think that they felt the need to "one-up" the special fx from T2 which had revolutionary special fx for its time. however, with the CGI boom upon the industry, they were nothing more than mediocore.

i truly think that CGI has the capabilities to do dome awesome things with film, and it has, but too many studios see only the money and use it as an easy way out rather than wasting time shooting a good movie.

me too, imj a bad camera man. oh and my last piece i just filmed is HORRIBLE, camera wise, the whole thing is like one shot with some close ups, its bad, and my grade will be bad. i coulda done better like with my other projects if i just organize myself before i start production and not do them at the very last minute cuz then the film looks like it was made in a rush.

Post by: one weak on Mar 15, 2005, 03:54 AM
yep. i can't get a clear vision of what i want to shoot and how my narrative plays out like other people. even if i write storyboards and plan everything to the max, i find that the film reflects nothing i was going for. luckily, i don't want to direct because i could never make a great film. i just have to get through this class so i can make into the production program at my university.
Title: The movie topic
Post by: lifter on Mar 15, 2005, 04:09 AM
yah that happens to me a lot, when i have a clear vision on how i want it to be, and it doesnt come out how i wnated to. this semester is all me directing all my films and stuff, and im not that great at directing either so its hard for me since im new to independent film making , but i think i will get better and make better films but not like a 2 hour hollywood film haha just like a 10 min kinda one.
Title: The movie topic
Post by: one weak on Mar 15, 2005, 04:18 AM
personally the only reason i like directing at all is because it gives me a better idea of how i want to edit the film (which is what i want to concentrate on in the next few years of college). i just shoot and hope it turns out okay because if you have the resources, anything can be fixed in editing.

i actually like lighting sets and other shit about the composition of a shot...hmmm...maybe i'd be a better cinematographer anyway.

Post by: lifter on Mar 16, 2005, 04:34 AM

Anyway, I'm watching this movie called Holiday Heart (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0250425/), it was made for TV, but it's pretty good. I have SO much more respect for Ving Rhames now, he plays a gay man and a drag queen, but as soon as the "OMG, he is the ugliest woman I have ever seen" thought wears off, he's very believeable and it's a touching story.

but its been a long time since ive seen a good movie like that

I finally saw...

Pauly Shore Is Dead
Not quite what I was expecting, but I liked it

The Incredibles
A lot of people told me it sucked, but I thought it was good ..and Jason Lee!!

The Grudge
The creepiest thing about it is they found a Japanese girl with big eyes.


And as for the whole Keanu Reeves discussion, my favorite movie of his is probably River's Edge. It's one of his older movies, I think he's gotten a nose job since then.

I thought the same thing. People kept on saying it was just like Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, when there were maybe a few scenes that were like it. But I still thought it was a good film. I actually cried at the end, which was rather weird.

That was filmed in New Jersey. I have to go to that fucking place. It seems so beautiful, not because of the movie but because it has been a favourite place of mine since I heard Ani sing about it.

for those of you who liked or loved Closer in terms of a depressing story with great acting, i just watched an even better film in my film history class called Faces (1968) directed by John Cassavetes. It is shot entirely in 16mm, but with three different black and white stocks, therefore making the image appear to become less grainy as the film "wears" on you. it is kind of an older Indie film, but the acting is great and it certainly strays from the studio style of filmmaking. as for it reminding me of Closer, the story is so intense in the sense that the characters are so cruel to one another and care too much about what makes themselves happy or unhappy. other than that, one of the better films i've seen in quite a while. i

ok, I just finished watching it. I take back what I said about the first movie btw, it was actually pretty good. it was original. the second one just sucked so bad so it brought down the first one with it in a way.

anyways, Cube Zero was a lot cooler than the other two movies. you actually saw part of what's going on outside the cube. and the whole story was a lot more complicated. this one was actually a bit scary from time to time. and it contained some pretty cool gore. the acting was way better than in the other two movies too. what gave this movie minus points were some extremely unreal things, like for example when they could see a woman's dreams and actually record them on video. if you liked the first Cube movie I think you'll like this though.

Title: The movie topic
Post by: Mazzy on Apr 18, 2005, 03:23 AM
Hey, you're only inbred if you live/come from Tassie OKHAY. Not all movies reflect us in those ways. You have to remember that many Australian films lack the expensive special effects of US movies and, by comparison, often have a miniscule budget. Australian films reflect the Australian way of life, sure it involves heavy drinking and some stupidity here and there but hey, that's usually the case. Not all of us are like that but at least we've got the balls to take a piss. We love our beer and we're as laid back as a sofa chair wants to be.

I can name many great Australian movies from the top of my head, movies like; Rabbit-proof Fence, The Tracker, Lantana, Moulin Rouge, The Castle, Mr Reliable, Shine, Muriel's Wedding, Babe, Strictly Ballroom, Picnic at Hanging Rock, Mad Max, Gallipoli and OH MY GAWD...Priscilla, Queen of the Desert

Who can resist a movie about a bunch of drag queens leaving Kings Cross to travel across the desert in an old bus to the Alice. It's got some great photography. -This film is best enjoyed if the audience contains teenage girls who like to giggle- That movie is tops!! Guy Pierce at his best mate  :D

The soundtrack is fucking amazing too. Decoder Ring did all the tracks and man, it'll make you cry. It fits the movie perfectly, every scene, every piece of dialogue that's accompanied by a track, it just moves you.

The original Guess Who's Coming to Dinner (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0061735/) was also more controversial at the time, Guess Who (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0372237/) seems to be a pretty lighthearted comedy, but I haven't seen it yet.

I remember liking Adaptation. (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0268126/), but I don't remember why...I guess it couldn't have effected me that much

yeh it is very lighthearted but it kind of demonstrates that over the past 40 years since the first one that in some cases attitudes havnt really changed. but shit.. its an ashton kutcher movie i dont think you are meant to look any further into it!!

watched Auto Focus (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0298744/) today for like the 8th time this week lol. just can't get enough of this movie. It has Greg Kinnear and Willem Dafoe in it and it is the story of "Hogan's Heroes" star Bob Crane and how he became a sex addict

so many memorable lines from it too

Bob Crane: Mel, I thought you were a fellow entertainer.
Mel Rosen: I'm also a Jew.
Bob Crane: It's the same thing!

John Carpenter: Do you know what time it is? It's FUCK time!

Bob Crane: What is that on my ass?
John Carpenter: That is my hand.

I watched it when I was going through a really bad time in my life. Someone close to me had died of cancer and school was ending and the thought of how things were made me really...uneager about things around me. I didn't find anything amusing at that time so that may be why I didn't register its message in my head. Plus my sleeping patterns were crazy then. I will try to watch it again for sure, this time I promise to stay awake.

yeah it swept all the major awards. one of my favorite films ever.

the 70's was the decade for great films in the US. since when has there been a string of truly original films and great actors/actresses/directors since then??  btw, in my opinion, tarantino is NOT as good as some of the directors in the 70's and earlier. i love all his films, but everything he does has been done before...period. he is not the next Hitchcock or coppola or scorsese or cappra etc, etc.

It was fun to watch after I got out of army though of course amry is different now and we didn't have that strict discipline and so scary sergeants (and no one blew his head off). The first half of the movie is way better and I wish there would be more movies about basic training. Everything's just about war.

Taxi Driver was good. I admit that, but only partly cause of the strong performance that De Nero gave. You know what I found that is much shittier (yes Tyler, look it up and tell me if that's a word) than The Aviator, Gangs Of Fucking New York. Man that was shit. Pure fresh shit. But then again anything Cameron Diaz stars in is shit too with the exception of Vanilla Sky, which I thought was fucking good.

Vanilla Sky was good despite Diaz. I haven't liked her in a movie since The Mask.
Title: The movie topic
Post by: Mazzy on Apr 22, 2005, 11:57 AM
I find all her performances are forced. She doesn't let the character just do it's own thing, she makes it all fucking technical for herself. The reason she did alright in The Mask is because Jim Carrey is a really good actor and she just kinda faded in the background. Her role was to basically be the good looking one. That's it.

Kubrick is...was a good director. Tim Burton is a good director (for the most part). Cameron Crowe is a good director. There are plenty more, but I can't think of names at the moment.

Tarantino was good, but he is no longer cool or original. All Tarantino's movies feel the same and that's what bothers me, I could care less about success. Besides, he's got attention looong before Kill Bill, the previous success is why that movie was so fucking hyped to begin with. And yeah it was entertaining and enjoyable, but I could've watched any of his other movies and got the same thing out of it. I think he peaked long ago and now he lives off his name.

Well, here in Finland army and marines are kind of the same thing or combined into one. And FMJ reminded me enough of what I went through. It doesn't fuck with my head though cuz I sometimes liked army.

And thanks to makoe5 for reminding me of Tigerland. It's been on my need-to-watch-list but then I forgot it.

Quote from: "one weak"scorcese WAS good. i didn't like the aviator. but c'mon, Raging Bull, Taxi Driver, etc. you know his older films
I haven't seen his newer films (meaning movies made this century) but I doubt I'd like them much. His old stuff, on the other hand, is good...Raging Bull, Taxi Driver, Goodfellas etc.

And Cameron Diaz was at her best in Mask but she's still good looking. I'd tap that.

By the way, I just bought few good movies I've seen zillion times but can watch another zillion times. T2, Predator, Die Hard and The Silence Of The Lambs. Special editions and director's cuts and all that shit. I'm gonna have a movie night tonight.

if you think tarantino made the best film of the 90's, then you need to go see some other films. really, i'm not saying i don't like the guy, he makes some badass and fun movies to watch, but he really doesn't have anything original to show that hasn't been done before. seriously, he adds an awesome twist to everything, but it's just a combination of the past.

oh and btw, i know 80% of the story behind pulp fiction...where it came from, what it means, where he got it from, whos' "pulp" films he watched first, and which pulp films i think are better.

if you really want to see some good pulp, search under france in the 1960's. if i remember correctly france had a great deal of authors at the time doing novels about this sort of thing and there were some awesome french directors adapting these novels. i can guarantee that tarartino saw these films.

Some of the scenes last way too long and made the movie drag some, but Clive Owen and Natalie Portman did have some strong performances and made me think twice about Natalie as an actor. I wasn't too big on her performances before, but after seeing this I have more respect for her. And it didn't hurt that Clive Owen and Jude Law were fucking hot in the film.

As for Hotel Rwanda, that was much better. The acting was really good and I didn't feel so bad watching this instead of studying for my AP test, since this was kind of a study session. But this shows that Rwandan genocide is definitely not good times.

If Pulp Fiction wasn't the best movie of the 90's....then what was?

Probably...but it was still damn good in '93 or '94 or whenever it was fresh. It's still quite good. And Crichton's books are awesome.

Best movie of the 90's? Quite difficult question...from the 80's, Aliens would be my choice and from current decade, The LotR-trilogy so far. But the 90's has many good movies...Pulp Fiction, Seven, The Usual Suspects, Goodfellas, Silence Of The Lambs, Trainspotting, T2 etc. Can't really choose...

1. House of Flying Daggers
2. Raise The Red Lantern
3. Red Sorghum

he's an awesome Chinese director...probably the best director from Asia imo.

here's a fun fact about that movie i learned recently in film class (you may not want to read further if you haven't seen it):

the final fight scene (where it begins to snow)...looks like a cool digital effect, but it's all real. Yimou and the production had money and film left over and decided to go out and shoot some more and it began to snow.(this scene was not shot in china) so they just kept shooting while the snow kept falling and falling until they finished. pretty amazing!

Reality Bites (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0110950/) was really good, it's my favorite movie with Winona Ryder, she normally annoys me.

I've been neglecting this thread, so some thoughts on movies I've seen lately...

Alfie (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0375173/)
Granted, I haven't seen the original, but from watching the bonus features it seems like they captured the essence and it is interesting how the character is still more than relevant today, good watch.

Buffalo '66 (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0118789/)
First time seeing the movie, first time seeing Vincent Gallo in anything other than Cosmopolitan Bloodloss..it was weird, after seeing him in that video I always imagined him to have a lower, creepier kind raspy voice, he ended up sounding more like Woody Allen or something. Good movie though, sad..I like sad...excellet shots at...that one part...don't want to ruin it

Meet the Fockers (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0290002/)
Very few sequels are as good as the original, so I was amazed when this one surpassed Meet the Parents (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0212338/), good job by everyone and the special features were great

After the Sunset (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0367479/)
Entertaining, like Ocean's 11 meets James Bond, I liked it. watched that this morning

I Heart Huckabees (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0356721/)
Watched that this morning, absolutely loved it, has to be my favorite movie with Jason Schwartzman and Mark Wahlberg. I normally don't like Schwartzman much, but he was good in this and Wahlberg was just so different and that was really nice. Also good to see Jude Law be an asshole and of course the story and Jon Brion's excellent music were all just great.

Gonna watch End of the Century (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0368711/) tonight

I think I know which scene you're talking about. Yeah, I really liked the way the scene was shot, too. Despite the guy being a fucking asshole, he's got some talent.

I Heart Huckabees is uber funny. A really smart comedy. It was weird since Jason Schwartzman's character was a lot like my brother. And Naomi Watts. C'mon, she kicks some major ass.

Just watched House of Flying Daggers, after seeing Hero last week. I really love those movies, they do a great job of suspending reality. Hero had amazing fight scenes and effects, Flying Daggers didnt have as many impressive effects, but was much more story oriented... both great movies if you're into that whole Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon genre...

btw, can anybody recommend any other movies like these, with the cool fantasy-ish setting and "out there" effects?

Yeah, the rape scene is painful to watch. So is the first twenty minutes. That's the main reason why people walked out on the film. But Vincent Cassel and Monica Bellucci are hot and the performances are spectacular for it being improv.

Yeah, I loved this movie (city of god)...best gangster film. Better than the (yes) overrated scarface..i hjate that movie. every single fucking stupid ass rapper who think s they are so gangster love this movie. I think I know why. Its not because it is "gangster" it because they think al pacino is hot.

Just saw Bad Education a few days ago...loved it. It is kind of weird seeing Gael be so gay and stuff, but he is one the best (imho) actors right now. I thought it was a great thriller film. And I love anything by Almodovar so I might be a little biased.   :twisted:

Quote from: "Paint Your Lips"Saw the movie City of God a few days back, and my god it's sweet. Has so many cool elements and is truly a deeply emotional film. Very artistic aswell.

Next up is Irreversable. Anyone seen it?
The brazilian movie? I think it was good but still overrated. I can't see anything so magnificent there.

And I'm about to watch Irreversible in the next few days...I've heard it's sick. *high expectations* :D
Irreversable has a pretty damn sick 10-15 minute long rape scene.

Looking forward to it, haha.

Yeah, the rape scene is painful to watch. So is the first twenty minutes. That's the main reason why people walked out on the film. But Vincent Cassel and Monica Bellucci are hot and the performances are spectacular for it being improv.

is this the movie which works backwards?

watched The Final Cut (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0364343/) last night. I enjoyed it, good sci-fi thriller.

EDIT: Oh yeah, also watched Kids (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0113540/) and I feel terrible just for watching it. It felt more like a documentary than a movie and that's what makes it so fucked up, cause it's too real...but honestly how is that ugly little bitch getting laid at all??

You should have a look at Bully  (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0242193/)too. It's from the same guy (Larry Clark), and it's pretty fucked up too!

Oh and Nowhere (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0119809/) and The Doom Generation (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0112887/). They are from Gregg Arakki who is a quite crazy guy too...

Bully looks good, I'll look for it.

Nowhere says it's the 3rd film in a trilogy, what are the first 2? I must see them in order or not at all.

I might just have to see The Doom Generation just for Skinny Puppy.

Went to Hollywood last night, they didn't have any of the movies on DVD. They did have Bully on VHS, but I hate VHS..I might get it next time though.

I got Dirty Pretty Things (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0301199/) and Ocean's Twelve (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0349903/)

Dirty Pretty Things was OK, not as sad or fucked up as it seemed, and Audrey Tatou was MUCH better in Amélie (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0211915/)

Ocean's Twelve was pretty good. I thought did a good job of keeping the spirirt of the first one, I was really worried about that. A remake is one thing, but a sequel to a remake is just blasphemy, but as far as blasphemy goes, I enjoyed it.

I watched Sideways, Psycho (The remake) and Bad Education.

Sideways was good, but I think it was overhyped some. I did like Paul Giamatti's acting. Some of the editing, however, was crappy.

I meant to get the original version of Psycho, but I accidentally got the remake. Anyway, that just bored me to no end. I like Gus Van Sant's work, but this has to be his worst film. I also didn't like Julianne Moore's character much. But I did find out I'm very much attracted to Vince Vaughn.  :wink:

As for Bad Education, that was rather mediocre. Gael was good and hot in the film and there were some nice shots of him, but the story got boring by the middle of the film and quite frankly my tub of ice cream was keeping me occupied rather than the film.

I too saw the new Star Wars on thursday. Although it was entertaining and the light sabre battles were nice, some things bothered me but I really can't put my finger on it. The movie was overally kinda all over the place and I couldn't remember anything of it when I came out of the theatre. Also, some lines were somehow stupid. And Palpatine looked like an ass...literally.

Tonight I watched Garden State which was good but nothing spectacular.

And I watched Alien 3 Special Edition...it was quite a lot different from the theatrical version which was probably an improvement.

Quote from: "Mazzy"I hate her. Man eater.

I must admit, she looked good in the film. Even I'd hit it. But yeah, Mr. and Mrs. Smith was better than I thought it would be and not because there were some good looking people in there *cough*VinceVaughnAdamBrodyBradPitt*cough*. The story was completely stupid, but the way it developed throughout the film made it watchable and I didn't even look at my watch to see what the time was. Pretty impressive if I say so myself.

I also saw Kinsey, which was pretty good, too. Liam Neeson can act and he made the movie more enjoyable. I really had no qualms with it, except that toward the end it got a little boring, but good nonetheless.

The Magdalene Sisters was really depressing. It was good, but I thought it would be better. Some of the characters really bugged the hell out of me. I would have talked back to the TV if there wasn't anyone in the room. That, and I was expecting better acting.

This week in my history class we watched Gandhi, although I didn't get to see the last 10 minutes. Now that was a great movie with some awesome acting. Ben Kingsley is so lovable in the film. He did a really good job playing Gandhi, although in the beginning of the film he looked more like a white guy than an Indian.

My dad and I LOVE Ben Kingsley, he's a brilliant actor. I love how he can pretty much take on any role and put so much of himself into it. I really really liked the House Of Sand and Fog.

As for Angelina Jolie...nahh I'm not falling for it. Whatever she's trying to portray, I'm not believing it. I liked Girl, Interrupted, only cause I like Winona. Jolie did a reasonable job but I just don't like her, not that I know her or anything, I just don't believe it when she says all this shit in interviews. It bugs me. And when I see her I think of plastic, automatically.

That's funny considering she gets more done than you do.

And how could you like Winona, but not Angelina? Winona is a horrible actress and not exactly a stellar person.

I just see this sense of honest humanity and realness in Winona that I don't see in Angelina. I'm not saying I hate her like I want to see her die or something. I just don't think she's the 'great actress' that people make her out to be. There's this fakeness that's just so apparent when I see her speak or act. It shits me. I don't want this to come out the wrong way or make it sound harsh but this whole UN thing, I really don't think she's doing it for the cause sorta speak, more for the image that she wants to get in the media for being a kind human being. When she speaks about it, it sounds like she's putting it on show or something. She's always mentioning the great work she's doing and it's not like, she's drawing attention to the poverty stricken Cambodia or anything but drawing attention to herself almost in the sense of 'look at me, I do this awesome work in Cambodia I'm a real woman now praise me'. I don't buy it. That's how I see it cause I have witnessed her speaking about it on certain occasions and it has seemed fake to me everytime. I used to like her before but gradually, I have lost my likeness of her overtime.

I don't care if she's accomplished more than I have. Jesus, I'm 18 years old and she's like, nearly 30 or something. Obviously she'll get more work done. I'm not one to blab about the good work I do. I do it for myself and the outcomes and not for others to fawn over me. That's just how I see it, I was and still am stating my opinion. You don't have to like it but it's not going to change.

Julia Roberts is the most overrated actress ever. Doesn't matter what role she plays, she is the exact same actress. She could play a hooker that sleeps with a bunch of lawyers, and it's the exact same actress who played the teacher in that movie that was supposed to be set in the 1950's.

I can't believe she got an academy award. There are lots of incredibly talanted and underrated actresses out there that are getting overlooked because of overrated hags like Julia Roberts. (http://www.thebestpageintheuniverse.net/c.cgi?u=julia)

Oh yeah, movies... I was looking for a movie to watch while I try and go to sleep.

Thinking about:

Dark City
Office Space
Dawn of the Dead (2004)


I wanna watch Shaun of the Dead, but it seems to have disappeared, probably someone came over again and took it without asking. :(

SAW's ending was just confusing. Adam is so freaking hot though...jesus!!

You know in movies where the characters are brushing their teeth, how come they don't get the white froth that you usually get when you brush your teeth. Wouldn't that be more realistic than a clean brushing of the teeth and the two times where they rinse. It takes more than two times to completely get the toothpaste residue out of your mouth. Why do some movies skip the realistic brushing and try to glamorise it, it just ends up looking stupid. Just a thought really.

i saw Hotel Rwanda in my film class , i wasnt moved, i thought it was ok , not bad at all . tho,  i probably have to watch it for a second time i guess, i wasnt really into it at the time, also we watch like 40 min of the film in one period, then continue watching it like next week or 2 weeks later.

i just finished watching Maria Full Of Grace, the acting is wonderful and i liked the realistic story, but the ending was like too quick it felt. but a good film nonetheless.

im gonna see City Of God soon, it looks great. i have it on dvd , i just hadnt got the time to put it on, now that i have much time ill  get to it, like a whole bunch of other films i have.

oh and Batman Begins was amazing, the best batman along with Batman returns, i think its that one, with danny devito as penguin.

But before that, I watched The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0362270/), which was very entertaining, smart, witty, I loved it and I want some Team Zissou adidases sooo bad!!

Plot wise, not really. They're on two different levels, but the emotional impact, I say, is pretty similar in structure.

I saw Pi and The House of Yes this weekend.

For The House of Yes, that movie is fucked and never will I look at a brother and sister or Jackie Onasis the same ever again. Parker Posey is fucking awesome, oh my God! I need to see more of her films, but I seriously don't blame her character fucking her twin brother. He was pretty fucking hot.

For Pi, it made me love Darren Aronofsky. Wow, what a great film. The acting was really strong and the plot was great. I could see some elements that rubbed off onto Requiem For A Dream. Good movie.

Yes, Pi is great, even better for a Tool-fan becuase of all the fibonacci-things and spirals. No doubt Tool was influenced by that movie.

I recently watched The Ring Two. Not bad but not that good either...the first one was good and this just was a bit repetitive. However, Naomi Watts is quite a good actress and speaking of her...she'll be in the upcoming King Kong (http://www.kingkongmovie.com/ef239524432ba87f1ca8f70eed4b1fa7/en_splash.html) movie.

I'm watching Lantana tonight. I have watched it before but my dad hasn't so I just have to pretend I haven't watched it so he doesn't feel bad about hiring it. Awww aren't I sweet  :oops: Plus I can never get enough of Geoffry Rush.

This is a top review of it:

This is an absorbing, wry, on occasion witty, and slightly stagey drama about four couples whose lives become entangled more or less by chance. The very occasional director, Ray Lawrence (his last film was `Bliss' in 1985) has taken Andrew Bovell's play `Speaking in Tongues' and made a very effective film of it. Despite the occasional histrionics it cannot be described as a filmed play. The camera is used to great advantage and some memorable visual images obtained eg the opening sequence where the camera slowly tracks over a profuse growth of that pretty but prickly introduced pest, Lantana, until it comes to rest on a woman's body caught within.

The plot revolves around the circumstances in which the woman met her end. Three of the couples have probematical relationships. A policeman (Anthony La Paglia) is having an affair (or at least a two-night stand) while his wife (Kerry Armstrong), aware something is wrong, is seeing a psychiatrist for therapy. The psychiatrist (Barbara Hershey) is in a mess herself. Her young daughter was murdered a couple of years previously and she and her pill of a legal academic husband (Geoffrey Rush) are held together mainly by grief. She also has a rather sinister gay client (Peter Phelps) who she comes to believe may be involved with her husband. The cop's lover (Rachel Blake) is estranged from her husband (Glen Robbins) and presents a threat to the happiness of the battlers next door (Vince Colsimo and Daniella Farinacci), though they are the least screwed up of the four. When the cop comes to investigate the death the plot thickens, but all is resolved in the end.

It's a good story cleverly told and the acting is first rate – no-one misses a beat. I loved the moment when the cop bursts into his 15 year old son's room to catch him smoking pot and says to him `for God's sake, I'm a cop.' The kid replies: `You should be able to get me some really good stuff then.' Drug exhibits have a habit of disappearing from Sydney police stations. But the real strength of the movie is the honesty with which it portrays emotional deceit and its consequences – what we do to ourselves and to others when we are too tired or cowardly to deal with how we really feel about those close to us. To fall in and out of love at 20 is painful but easy. To find yourself out of love with you partner after 20 years of marriage is painful and hard. No wonder we put off the day of reckoning and no wonder it sometimes takes a tragedy to bring us to that day.

I love Anthony La Paglia. Originally when he left Adelaide for New York he did have an Australian accent (he still does when he says some words) but he couldn't get jobs because the casting directors would ask him where he was from and he'd say 'Australia' and they'd start with the whole 'G'day' and 'crocodile dundee' crap and that used to wreck his focus and then they would tell him that his Aussie accent was a problem blah blah blah. So then he started going to auditions and he'd say he was from Brooklyn in a total American accent. He's brilliant, his wife Gia is an Aussie too and the accent on that woman is awesome, I think that's where he keeps his sense of Australian identity intact.

But awesome movie, I'm surprised you've watched it actually. American's don't really get into Aussie movies sorta speak, which is a shame cause we got some awesome movies. SOMERSAULT IS ONE OF THEM BEDE!!

I saw a few movies while on vacation.

The first film I saw was Hitch, which wasn't as bad as I thought it would be, but that's not saying much. Kevin James is cool and Will Smith has a certain charm that made the movie a little bit better. I just wished another actress could take the place of Eva Mendes. She annoyed me throughout the whole film.

The day after that I saw Batman Begins. At first, I thought it was rather slow, but after the 45 minute mark it started picking up and overall I enjoyed it. Christian Bale is hot. End of story.

I saw Charlie and The Chocolate Factory before I left. I liked it a lot and there were some things from the book that was in this one that wasn't in the original film. It was more disturbing than the first, but the ending was rather disappointing. Still enjoyable, though.

Quote from: "defskull"How was Luda?

he basically played himself 90% of the movie but while his character was integral to the plot he wasn't in the movie that long so it wasn't like he really had the chance to do something different. all the other actors had very strong performances though.

i would like too but movies are too damn expensive

and in response to defskull Anthony Anderson was quite good in this movie i usually dislike him but this was the first time they didn't just put him in the movie to be the fat loud black guy. he wasn't yelling or breaking things he was actually acting so it was cool to see him finally show he can act too.

I saw Thelma and Louise and A Very Long Engagement this weekend.

As far as Thelma and Louise goes, I thought it was pretty good. I like Susan Sarandon's acting a lot and Geena Davis was pretty good, too and you can't forget Michael Madsen and Harvey Keitel. This movie probably would have sucked if there were other actors playing these parts.

A Very Long Engagement was rather disappointing. It mostly had to do with WWI and it was very different from Amélie, as it was really depressing (Not that I was expecting another Amélie, but just different from it). Audrey Tautou does have the ability to charm the pants off me and that the Maneach (sp?) was uber hot in it. It seemed like the plot got lost in between war flashbacks. I didn't know Jodie Foster was in here, though until I saw it.

A Very Long Engagement looks really good, really epic. But I believe it could be diappointing. I rented Dirty Pretty Things because of Audrey and it was disappointing.

Tarnation is a kind of 'stream of consciousness' video diary that aggressively challenges what defines a documentary. It is a revelation in personal filmmaking, a hybrid between the 'fake' (performance) and the 'real' (real life). Looking at the non-fiction landscape in cinemas right now, which is brimming with earnest political tracts and exercises in agit-prop comedy, Tarnation is unique. It is also one damn fine movie.

Since his eleventh birthday thirty-one year-old filmmaker Jonathan Caouette has been documenting his life via a bunch of different media: photos, Super 8 home movies, video diary, writing and performance. He uses all of these elements to fashion his fraught family story, which forms the foundation of the film. As we see, Caouette is very much a product of nature and nurture. Raised in Texas by his grandparents, he begins the story of his mother's life, Renee, a woman who was put into psychiatric institutions in her teens. Wrestling with drug use and physical abuse, Renee's life was eroded by battle after battle, not the least of which was with her parents who ultimately raised Jonathan, her son, in her absence. In effect Tarnation is his "love letter" to his mother, where he uncovers the truth behind her tortured existence and reconciles the pain he has with his own.

It would be easy to write off Tarnation as yet another tabloid exercise in airing dirty laundry. But like Andrew Jarecki's Oscar-nominated Capturing The Friedmans (2003) - another profound documentary about family secrets and the fall out on a family - Tarnation takes things to a new level. This is a film that defies conventional non-fiction storytelling by embracing fiction. It is vigourously subjective; images are heavily stylised, edited and manipulated, the music pop soundtrack is intrusive and often drives narrative, reminding us that we are watching a film...this ain't verite.

But these techniques don't make Tarnation any less truthful or authentic. Just the opposite. Whether or not you agree with Caouette's decision to make it there is no denying that Tarnation is compelling, moving, poetic and powerful. It isn't merely a family album filled with grimaces instead of smiles, and it also transcends being an hysterical exercise in cathartic personal

The movie was good not great, but Morgan Freeman and Hilary Swank made the movie what it was. I'm glad they won for Best Supporting Actor and Best Actress. Both deserved it.

i thought it was decent, and the cast were very carefully selected i think. i always like Morgan Freeman, and hilary swank is also a very good actress. they all seemed natural working together.

returned those the other night and got Memento, just watched it, pretty good. Although I kept thinking about Val Kilmer the whole time, it just seemed like it should've been him, I dunno, probably because of The Salton Sea (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0235737/).

I saw Pollock, In The Bedroom and Tortilla Soup.

Tortilla Soup was good and it made me hungry and feel like a white-washed Mexican all at the same time!  :)

In The Bedroom was way over-hyped. It was boring. The only thing that kept me watching it was the hot guy and Sissy Spacek's performance, which was friggin' awesome. Otherwise, meh.

Same goes for Pollock. Ed Harris did a good job with acting, as did Marcia Gay Harden's performance, but there were some parts that weren't necessary to stay in the film. A little overdramatic, overall eh.

Does anyone agree, or am I just losing my interest in film?  :cry:  Please say it's the former.

I saw Pollock for art class. I thought it was really well done, Ed Harris was good but there was room for him to perform much better. Some aspects were exaggerated but overall it was very good. Jackson Pollock is an amazing artist. I don't think a movie can do him justice, documentaries always work better.

I saw The Island last night with my mom. It was your typical Michael Bay film--30 minutes of a story and an hour and a half of action. I was really disappointed with Scarlett Johansson's performance, or just her role. The movie made her out to be a ditzy blonde. Yeah, she doesn't know too much, but neither did Ewan's character, but the made Ewan more in control than Scarlett, who had a perplexed look on her face throughout the whole film.

It's the same problem I had with The Bourne Identity and Franka Potente. That, and some of the action was ridiculous. There were these huge action scenes and the characters go through these dangerous situations, but they don't have a scratch on them. I wanted them to look like crap at one point during the film.

It had a really good plot, it just copped out on the thinking process. It was good...for a mindless action film.

Yesterday I watched The Manson Family (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0118840/) which was disturbing but kinda boring.

And today I watched Taxi (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0316732/). The best part was, of course, Gisele Bundchen making a body search for Jennifer Esposito. :wink: There was some funny stuff too but overally it sucked compared to the original french version (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0152930/), which is brilliant.

OK, last time at Hollywood I rented...

BASEketball (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0131857/) - Only saw it once before and it was years ago and Joey and I were talking about it so I rented it. A little different from what I remembered, but worth the 2nd watch and I like the Reel Big Fish video on the DVD. Also it made me appreciate Dude, Where's My Car? less because of the VERRRRY similar Dude arguments.

A Very Long Engagement (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0344510/) - Loved it. Not really what I was expecting, but I liked it a lot, it was interesting and I love the power of hope/love because I'm a sappy bitch. I was really surprised to see Marion Cotillard in it because she was in another French film I saw recently and loved, Love Me If You Dare (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0364517/). I liked her a lot though so it was a nice surprise. It's just weird to have only seen 2 French movies before and on my 3rd one seeing the leading ladies from the other 2.

Anyway, going to Hollywood later, more commentary to come.

EDIT: oops, I've also soon The Man Who Cried which is a French movie and I don't believe it has any of the same cast.

That Reel Big Fish video on the BASEketball DVD, is it their cover of A-ha's "Take on Me"? If it is, that's a good cover.

I saw The 40 Year-Old Virgin today...with my mom. We got in about 5 minutes into the film when I think I accidentally grabbed a woman's breast when trying to find a seat in the theater, but I digress. It was better than I expected it to be. It was smart and funny. Some of it was gross, but it was gross with grace. And I found myself to be strangely attracted to Steve Carell.  :oops:  Me and my love for nerds.

It was me in a wig, haha

OK, so the other day I got...

Monkeybone (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0166276/) - It's one of those movies where I always thought I'd see it, but somehow hadn't and it was starting to bother me and I passed it so I just grabbed it, not expecting much, but just to shake that feeling. I was pleasantly sdurprised, I liked it a lot, it was worth my time for Miss Kitty alone, rawr, haha. No, but seriously, it was a cool story with a cool world...and it's a little similar to Cool World actually. Chris Kattan isn't in it as much as I thought he'd be, but I think he does a great job that most people wouldn't even think about...I'd explain but....I'm lazy

Igby Goes Down (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0280760/) - Good suggestion! I liked it a lot, smart, witty, mean and fucked up, good times. I loved Bill Pullman the most though.

wow...it's been a while since i've been on the board.

well i'm now enrolled in a horror film class and i thought i would share, with those of you interested, a few films that really gave me the creeps/changed the way i viewed horror...

some of you may have seen Kwiadan. very good japanese horror

The Act of Seeing with One's Own Eyes (1971) this film is VERY graphic and not for those who have trouble with thier stomach :wink: it was made by the founder of the film studies program at my univeristy...a fantastic experimental filmmaker. this film explores the human body through the silence of an autopsy room. vivid imagery and great 16mm photography. also pretty dificult to find.

Nuit et brouillard (1955) French New Wave director Alain Resnais takes a journey through post Nazi Aushwitz. but with olf film from WWII he is able to recapture the intensity of the Holocaust.

i'll post more when i see them... they will probably be more conventional towards classical "horror" genre.

i just saw a movie called Funny Haha on the sundance channel.
i liked it a lot. i guess a lot of people hated it cause it was bland and there really wasn't much element to it.

i could relate to the characters in the movie. i found it enjoyable.

i've seen that. i also liked it

just watched some Kubrick the past couple nights

hadn't seen these in a while and i forgot how good they really were: Lolita and Full Metal Jacket

pretty excited for the new Jodie Foster movie as well...though i forgot the name. hopefully it's as good as i thought Panic Room was.

Post by: Mazzy on Sep 09, 2005, 11:06 AM
I don't think he's overated. I like that shock factor of him. I like his movies a lot, but my fondness of them doesn't come as close as my fondness for his photography works. No one really knew about him untill they banned Ken Park then folks were all like 'ohh this man is terrible, exploiting children and making a profit out of it'. You just have to look through the shock factor and get to the core purpose of his movies. Not many people think there is a 'core purpose' but I do. They've shaped my perception somehow and I give him a huge amount og credit for that.

I saw Chicago and Ladder 49 this weekend.

My friends like Chicago because it's cheesy and they have a female crush on Catherine Zeta-Jones. I could see the cheesy-ness, but Catherine wasn't that great looking. Pretty, but not hot. That, and I like John C. Reiley.

Ladder 49 was only good because of Joaquin. I'd lick his face.

And Renee Zellweger kicks Zeta-Jones ass anyday.
Title: The movie topic
Post by: The Captain on Sep 12, 2005, 08:57 AM
eew, no.

So lately I watched...
Hide and Seek (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0382077/) - Hilarious. A little too similar to Secret Window which wasn't exactly highly original.

The Upside of Anger (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0365885/) - pretty good, not what I was expecting, I guess you could call it a dramedy

Alexander: Director's Cut (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0346491/) - Not as bad as I was expecting, but nothing great. Colin Farrell and Jared Leto looked like some metal gay couple with the clothes and hair which gave me a good laugh...yeah.

Tonight, I'm gonna watch Constantine (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0360486/). I've heard a lot of bad things about it and I don't really expect much, but I still want to see it.
Title: The movie topic
Post by: Mazzy on Sep 12, 2005, 09:01 AM
My dislike for Catherine Zeta-Jones is nearly as big as my dislike for Angelina Jolie. I can't stand her cause she's such a terrible actress. At least with Renee, she gives it a kick in the balls you know. I loved her in Cold Mountain and my love for Bridget Jones Diary is fucking phenomenal.

Lucky! I want to see Thumbsucker (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0318761/), I just saw the trailer for it online yesterday.

Anyway, Constantine (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0360486/) wasn't nearly as bad as I was expecting considering what I heard, I mean you can't expect much of Keanu anyway, but it was entertaining, awesome special effects, I want to enter a room like Satan, man, walking through the glass like that. And damn, the politically incorrect jokes I could make about the guy who got the spear...

Just finished watching Earth Girls Are Easy (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0097257/) - Best. Movie. Ever!?!?! MAYBE! haha, no, but it was awesome, awesome I say!

Later/Tomorrow, I will watch Devil's Playground (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0293088/), a documentary about Amish kids when they get to experience the world and decide whether or not they want to be Amish anymore.

Quote from: "aenemic"I saw Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children a few hours ago and I can't make up my mind... I was partly very disappointed, but at the same time it was just so fucking awesome. just seeing all those characters again. and hearing the music... and the animation was close to perfection.

what was disappointing about it? was it the story? im sure i'd feel the same way if i saw it. the animation looks really good.

yeah, the story was disappointing. it wasn't the original breath taking follow up to the FFVII story I was hoping for. it was actually just a way for them to milk out some more money, I think...

But then every movie does that on different levels man. I liked the whole story though, it was intelligent. Think about it, the whole movie is improvised - all the kids in it are unknown and there's no concrete dialogue. I was attracted to the realness of it, how Van Sant literally follows these students as they go about their daily business. He films them in long takes as they walk through the school, or as they develop photographs, or bitch about each other. As such, apart from a few personal problems, what appears to be only the mundane occurs to the film's characters for a large part of the film. Van Sant manages to avoid blandness, not only because of a continuous atmosphere of inevitable tragedy but also because of the audience's connection to the lives of the students. By not forcing his audience into viewing a constrained narrative, Van Sant is able to encourage them to paint their own mental picture on the canvas he presents. I think he did an excellent job in achieving this, he's one of the very few directors that can do that. It's just rare to see.

When presented with the 'objective' image of a student walking through the school, you start to use your own experience of school-life to give the scene a subjective perspective and enrich it in a very personal way. That's what I love about Van Sant, he enables his audience to think for themselves, and in doing so creates a truly interactive experience. I liked how it is clear that something terrible is going to happen, which makes the seemingly everyday lives that are being led by the film's characters all the more poignant. Yet Van Sant makes no attempts to lay the blame of the inevitable tragedy onto anyone, or anything, in particular. I thought it was so revitalising to see that. He does point to certain factors that could have led to the horrifying ending of the film - students being aggressively excluded from High School society; easy access to dangerously violent games on the internet; and the opportunities that are available for young Americans to get automatic weapons delivered to their front door. I think that's what you probably had trouble understanding, Van Sant was trying to show how unbelievably easy it is for young people to have access to guns even though you felt that it was a bit obscure. But Van Sant does not try and provide a definitive answer as to why the tragedy that unfolds has occurred. Rather, what the movie tries to illustrate is the argument that some inexplicable questions can never be fully resolved.

Quote from: "feeling like more"hmmmmmmmmm ok it was good. i thought the girl [the main character] was just damn annoying.. what a moron. and the guy i don't really know what to make of him? why did he kiss the gay dude? that part seemed a bit random. it was a nice story though. i would have wanted to see a bit more resolved with the mother though. my favourite character was irene.

That is so strange cause I was so moved by this film. I think the main character Heidi was really well performed by Abbie Cornish. She did such a good job in showing Heidi's vulnerability and fragile nature. Heidi's a sixteen year-old on the run from her family and troubled past, that's what you have to remember. She craves this emotional and physical love that she never had. I loved how everything in her life hangs by a thread. It is precarious at best. A series of self-made personal disasters forms the framework of her emotional survival. Trouble is her security blanket. That's when she meets Joe, his character is constantly at odds with the expectations put on him externally and internally, Joe has a myriad of problems of his own. His union with Heidi is reluctant but equally passionate. I liked how each character retreats to their respective comfort zones that of isolation and unhappiness when they feel they are becoming too close.

I think the reason Joe kisses Richard is because he has no relationship whatsoever with his father. He has no male emotional connection and it's further set on because he is frankly lost emotionally. It was an act confronting his own sexuality. In the name of experimentation. I think it fit in so perfectly so it was a bonus for me. Lyn Curran did an awesome job as Irene. She was able to portray the kind motel owner intensely, I liked the background story as to what happened to her son too. It was a nice touch by Shortland.

It was so confronting and surprisingly thought-provoking. I think the fact that it touches upon issues that are not explored fully makes it even more interesting and able to subjectively interpret.

BAM! Happiness was on the shelf, just winking at me. I gasped. I have been looking for this movie forever and I finally found it. It had "Watch Me" all over the frickin' cover, so I got it and I love it. Todd Solondz knows how to make funny/disturbing films. I was very much impressed with Jon Lovitz's acting, even though he was only in five minutes of the film. I think everyone did a good job and I love Philip Seymour Hoffman. Gah! It's just damn good.

Her dad told Bianca (her friend from the BP) that Heidi cracked onto him in the car because he doesn't want Bianca to be friend's with Heidi. Remember at the beginning of the movie when Heidi was walking around Jindabyne looking for a job and she went into that store, that was Bianca's dad. I think he has some sort of resentment towards Heidi because he finds her attractive and he doesn't trust himself around her. She makes him uncomfortable because he can't have her and she has that innocent naughty appeal to her. He doesn't want Bianca to be around her but really, all Heidi needed was a friend like Bianca to give her some sort of stability because she was all alone with only Joe and Irene being the only two people she conversed with.

It's my favourite Van Sant movie ever. I loved it, everything about it was just complete and so thought provoking. I liked that documentary look to it. Phoenix does an amazing job and this is the only movie where Keanu actually does good acting. I loved the story line to Mike having narcolepsy and then getting those vague memories of his mother and it became like his dreams when he got those attacks of sleep, were taking him home.

This confronted me so much. It did so much and it just made me love River Phoenix as an actor more than I thought imaginable and I already loved Van Sant but darn...it was so compelling and it just absorbed your reality out of you and just took you on this ride with these two men.

I think it's Scarlett Johansson, I don't like her acting. I think Sofia did an awesome job (I was a big fan of The Virgin Suicides). I think it's a gorgeous movie, but pretentious. I liked how both characters occupy very different ends of the life spectrum yet somehow they find a deep, unspoken connection as they keep bumping into each other in the hotel they happen to share. Their union was kinda weird for me cause it was so unlikely. It didn't give me anything by the end of it. I was entertained, undoubtly, but still not really amazed.

It wasn't mindly amazing but it made me think about human loneliness cause Devos's character Carla was so lonely. It was a bit hard to believe the fact that Carla was supposed to be an ugly deaf girl cause Devos's was so beautiful. The connection between Paul (Cassel) and Carla (Devos) was so believable. I liked it. It made me feel so warm and content.

I know it's really violent in the beginning. My friend is a movie reviewer and he reviewed it for his final grade and he had to go outside for oxygen when he watched it for the first time. He said the rape scene was the hardest thing he's ever had to watch...ever.

I was aware of the rape scene before, and joked around with a friend of mine that it wouldn't be as terrible as everyone said it would be and then I watched it. I teared up a little bit when watching that scene and turned my head away at certain points.

For anyone who says Monica can't act should see that one scene. It's great acting for being improvised.

Kids disturbed me at first, but after seeing Bully it no longer effected me...not saying Bully is worse, but they both just seem like shock and I think the director has too big a hard on for that.

I watched Love Liza tonight. I'm still trying to process what I've seen and it's hard to explain it. I felt incredible sadness, uncomfortness and empathy for Seymour Hoffman's character, Wilson.  God, the pain Wilson goes through and the complete destruction that he is ensuing on his life after his wife's suicide. It gives you this inlook on how a person copes with loss in one's life without omission. Huffing gas is about the most destructive thing you can do to your body, for not that much reward. There are so many other substances that will make you feel much better and don't have as horrible side effects on your life. But that's exactly the point for Wilson, his life as he knew it, is over and it's all about destruction now. It's like Wilson wants to join his wife, but with a slow, soft suicide. He wants to feel what she felt as she died, why she died, but he doesn't want to read the letter that Liza left him. The ending was something I liked, it wasn't the happy ending, it was raw and it showed the vulnerability of a person who just doesn't really know how to cope.

It was stunningly accompanied with Jim O'Rourke's music in the background, and Jeff Buckley's Corpus Christi Carol was definitly a beautiful surprise. I really loved this more than I can really say. I feel what I've written doesn't give it any justice because it's so much more painfully and depressingly beautiful.

i knew that you would love it. it's one of my favorite movies. i enjoyed the comedic side to it. philip seymour hoffman is very good at achieving drama with dark comedy. i loved the parts with him and kathy bates. the ending was really weird to me yet satisfying in a way. i loved what the letter said and how things came about. it was like youre saying bye to this lonely soul and you have no idea whats going to happen to him. and BAM! the movie ends.

- The Woodsman - great movie, you have so much sympathy for Kevin Bacon.

- The Thin Red Line - one of the best war movies ever, in my opinion, although it's sometimes a little too vague for its own good. If it would've kept up the pace of the first half, it would be the best war movie ever, the end.

I watched Dawn Of The Dead. It wasn't too bad, considering the unnecessary nudity they had. I just didn't think it fit into the whole plot and where they were trying to go with the whole movie itself. I guess it was just cheap tacky visualisation. I liked how at the beginning I hated CJ's character (one of the security guards) then I started to love him because he was the humour of that movie. I thought some parts of it was just boring but I found myself commenting on how good it was to my mum afterwards so I guess it gets a half up thumb from me. I thought the whole God involvement with anything tragic is just so fucking overdone. I just hate watching a movie and then something happens and suddenly it's like 'oh let's bring God into this'. The evil pastor that was on tv was just the devil himself, yeah, let's blame this on gay people...pfft  :roll:

NO I HAVEN'T. I so want to though. My ex-boyfriend was Argentinean and he was always going on about the spanish version. It's called Abre Los Ojos, it's by Alejandro Amenabar. I really want to see it. I've read up on it so much after I found out that Vanilla Sky was the re-make sorta speak. I think Amenabar worked on Vanilla Sky too, I'm not too sure of it though.

i believe my movie obsession has moved from The Brown Bunny to this...

Bodysong - The Film by Simon Pummell with a brilliant soundtrack by Jonny Greenwood has now been released in the United States on DVD.
Paul Thomas Anderson (Boogie Nights, Magnolia) said about this film: "I remember seeing Bodysong and feeling like I was in a trance... moving, scary and hypnotic. Bodysong is pretty out there and pretty special."
The DVD includes an exclusive interview with Jonny Greenwood and Simon Pummell...

i have to get this dvd. PTA is a great director and i'm suprised he commented on the movie. Jonny Greenwood is one my favorite musicians.

Clementine: Joel, I'm not a concept. Too many guys think I'm a concept or I complete them or I'm going to make them alive, but I'm just a fucked up girl who is looking for my own peace of mind. Don't assign me yours.
Joel: I remember that speech really well.
Clementine: I had you pegged, didn't I?
Joel: You had the whole human race pegged.
Clementine: Probably.
Joel: I still thought you were going to save me. Even after that.


:(
Joel: I could die right now, Clem. I'm just... happy. I've never felt that before. I'm just exactly where I want to be.

i just rented Stranded with Vincent Gallo. it's about an astronaunt team who head over to Mars and crash and have absolutely no chance in surviving. Everyone says the acting is bad in it but im weird so i'll probably end up liking it. It looks really "non-Hollywood" and i know it's not going to be like those stupid flashy Hollywood space movies. maybe i'll enjoy it.

the degrassi episodes aired in the US back in august and in canada like 6 months before that. they are actually going to release the 4 episodes kev and jay were in on a dvd soon.

about Clerks 2 though i think it will be great and i can't wait to see it. i was a naysayer of the film at first but after keeping up with the making of it and watching kevin's diary of the film being made so far on the askew board i think this is going to be one of the best view askew films yet

this is what it says underneath that image on the view askew site

Based on this image, I'll pre-answer some of the queries I can already hear buzzing through your heads:

Does this tell the whole story? No.

Is our movie "Waiting 2″? No.

What about Quick Stop?

What about it?

Is it still in there?

Of course.

Is there a God?

Yes. It's either a Supreme Being who crafted the universe and plots all our moves outside of the free will choices we make, or Clapton. I lean toward the former - especially after shooting "Clerks 2″ for the last week. Because God's been good to us - inasmuch as, thus far, it's a funny, wonderful-looking film. The performances of the main cast have been tight and spot-on, and the day players have been great as well. I don't know if the flick'll live up to anyone else's expectations, but it's sure as fuck met and exceeded mine (I should point out, however, that as a fat man, I maintain very low expectations when it comes to anything in life but lard-based food). Can't wait to share it with ya'll.

Back to work for me.

oddly enough the director of that movie is on the View Askew board along with some of the cast and it turns out the director pretty much worships clerks and as you can tell he basically ripped it off to make his movie. i don't think kevin is a big fan ot it either considering he took a few little jabs at it already but i think he isn't saying much about since the guy is a fan.

actually Family Guy can be attributed to the death of the Clerks Cartoon. The network basically never understood the Clerks Cartoon and wanted them to dumb it down to appeal to the Family Guy audience in hopes of taking some viewers away from Fox. Everyone who worked on the Clerks cartoon hates Family Guy as well i don't know if you ever watched the commentary on the Clerks Cartoon DVD but they take quite a few shots at Family Guy and Seth McFarlane they actually added a few gags about him in the show too. and yes the Clerks cartoon was amazing and glad to see another fan of it on here

I watched Tiresia on SBS last night.

(http://www.filmfestivalrotterdam.com/photo/film/025561a/s-380.jpg)


Troubled man kidnaps a stunningly attractive transsexual. Contemporary version of ancient Greek myth made up of two parts. New French Cinema about religion and sexual identity: alienating, fascinating and occasionally shocking.

Tiresia is a contemporary version of the Greek myth in which a hermaphrodite being is blinded by a goddess, but this is compensated by the gift of clairvoyance. The film is made up of two parts, accompanied by the imposing sounds of Beethoven's Seventh Symphony. In the first part, Tiresia (Clara Choveaux), a stunning Brazilian transsexual, is kidnapped and locked up by a man called Terranova (Laurent Lucas), who is possessed by pretty macabre thoughts. He considers that in Tiresia - a beauty created by man -he has found the perfect rose, superior to the work of God. So he is not planning to share his 'rose' with anyone. Locked up and deprived of hormone therapy, Tiresia however starts to lose her female attributes. In a gruesome scene, Terranova blinds Tiresia and leaves his now male victim for dead in the woods. There he is found by the angelic Anna, who is determined to help him. Tiresia (now played by Thiago Telès) turns out to be clairvoyant. This most likely ungodly characteristic attracts the attention of the village priest. So this is not an everyday story. Bonello is a special film maker, who beautifully designed his theme (identity, sexuality, religion, myth). With grateful thanks to the actors, who bring to life the occasionally extremely difficult and secretive characters with control and conviction.

i really wish they'd get on with the Clerks Animated Movie. i hope they didn't abandon the idea. everyone's so used to Family Guy fart jokes that they dont realize how incredibley funny that show was.

Quoteactually Family Guy can be attributed to the death of the Clerks Cartoon. The network basically never understood the Clerks Cartoon and wanted them to dumb it down to appeal to the Family Guy audience in hopes of taking some viewers away from Fox. Everyone who worked on the Clerks cartoon hates Family Guy as well i don't know if you ever watched the commentary on the Clerks Cartoon DVD but they take quite a few shots at Family Guy and Seth McFarlane they actually added a few gags about him in the show too. and yes the Clerks cartoon was amazing and glad to see another fan of it on here

i own the clerks animated series dvd. kick ass show.

Dali helped with a few movies and acted in a few. most notably he wrote co-wrote screenplays and designed dream sequences (ie: as in surrealism).

Un Chien Andolou and L'age d'or are the two films i've seen that he co-wrote/planned. they are surreal as a motherfucker and some of the crazier films as well. you really have to study and understand surrrealism/dadism/expressionism to really know what's going on.

at one point, in the first film, this guy is hauling a grand piano around the room of his apartment with a rope, and lying on top of the piano is a dead, decaying carcass of a mule or horse. and a guy cuts open his eyeball with a razor blade :!:  

the films are awesome and i would recomend them to anyone who wants to have their mind opened up completely to some crazy shit.

naw i doubt it. yeah at least not here in colo. maybe in LA though.

anyway, it might be easier to look under Luis Bunuel because he is credited as director on both those films. i'm not sure what else Dali did besides those, but they are both really cool.

It was awesome seeing some females kicking butt. I loved King Arthur's Knights, the roles were so well cast. Glad to see an aussie was in there (Joel Edgerton). They did a really good job. I felt an instant connection to the Merlin's people. To live in the jungles...what pleasure that must be.

Quote from: "The Captain"Compared to George Clooney and Christian Bale, yeah, but everyone pales in comparison to Keaton, he just fucking is Batman.

you have to be fucking kidding me you are putting Christian Bale in the worst actors who portrayed Batman. He is the second best actor to portray Batman second only to Kevin Conroy (who voiced Bruce Wayne/Batman for Batman: The Animated Series and Batman Beyond).

I am not saying Keaton is bad because he worked the best he could with the material that was given to him because the writers did not have a good grasp of the character at all. The fact is he was not physically suited for the role of Batman regardless of the performance (there was even a HUGE petition for them to recast the role of batman back in 1988 since nobody thought he was right for the role), the other actors in both films overshadow his performance when he was supposed to be the main character, and just plain and simple he just dosen't act as batman should (again the character was written very poorly). i could go on and on for days about why keaton isn't the definitive batman and give list after list and i could if you want me to but i am not going to right now.

Don't get me wrong i enjoy both Batman and Batman Returns (even though the latter is barely a Batman movie) but the fact of the matter is they are not the best Batman movies. Anyone who thinks Keaton is Batman is someone who grew up watching the first 2 Batman movies and that is their earliest memory of Batman so that is who they identify Batman with so they have a prejudice towards any other portrayal of Batman.

I am a big Batman fan in case anyone couldn't figure that out already lol

nah, my earliest memory is watching reruns of the old TV show and after seeing the first Tim Burton movie, I could never really enjoy the old show again, it was just a joke.

Keaton fucking is Batman.

The animated series doesn't quite count because it was a cartoon, but it was well written and the voice/s were good, yes.

Val Kilmer just never felt like Batman or Bruce Wayne to me, I almost feel like I'm watching a completely different kind of movie during some parts in Batman Forever.

George Clooney was just a cruel joke.

Christian Bale wasn't really bad, but everything felt off to me, I dunno... I think it's the voice he used as Batman, it threw me.

I saw MUTANTS (MUTANTEN), a German movie. It was pretty good, I must say. It made me want to learn German.

i saw Spanglish today and enjoyed it a lot. it felt really different as in where the movie took me. sometimes it was a little hard to follow cause there was way too much emotion in it. i also thought the ending was too vague on how things ended up. i liked the whole restaurant sequence with Adam and Paz. yet it's pretty sad how they had to sacrifice their potential love for each other for the sake of their children. but if the movie ended with them being together, i would of disliked the movie.

I just watched Hotel Rwanda...yes, I cried. I bawled my eyes out. Luckily my dad didn't make fun of me like he usually does when I cry during a movie. I do have to say that I loved those funny moments in the movie, I don't want to refer to them as 'funny moments' actually. It makes me feel strange saying that. I guess it was more like their hope, which they expressed through humour. So much tragedy and just when you think it couldn't get worse, bang, something goes and happens that makes you cry even more.

Don Cheadle...fucking brilliant performance. He had me right there fighting and crying with him.

The amount of people watching Elephant has risen.

I watched another great Australian movie yesterday, Beneath Clouds. It's about Lena, the daughter of an Aboriginal mother and an Irish father and Vaughn, a Murri boy who is doing time in a minimum security prison in North West NSW. Crazyslashdramatic events throw them together and with no money or transport, they find themselves relying on each other in order to achieve their personal journeys - which both lead to different situations. I read the directors, Ivan Sen, comment's on what each of the characters represent to each other and he said something like to Lena, Vaughn represents the life she is running away from and Vaughn believes Lena embodies the society that has rejected him.

I loved the scene where Vaugh finds out that Lena is Aboriginal. My god, I was shaking in my jammy's and I stopped doing whatever I was doing cause I was like 'omg, he's got you now bitch'. Fucking A. I loved it. I thought the landscape was magnificent, it showed the hillside and the route to Sydney.

There's an Art festival in Melbourne and they're playing this movie along with other Australian films. I just laugh when people say 'the Australian film industry is suffering' uhhh yeah cause all the films that get the most promotion are the lame stereotypical ones. There are so many fucking awesome movies being made by Australian film makers that don't see the light of day and the Australian public is just as much to blame. The first week in which Somersault opened I was in the movie theatre and there were three people in there, THREE. I just think that we have to be considerate and go check out and support Aussie films.

You should check out Jewboy, it's brilliant.

Recently watched:

Lords of Dogtown (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0355702/) and yeah yeah, I'm sure most of you think it's the usual trendy teen flick, but it was written by Stacy Peralta himself and it was pretty good, I'm gonna watch it with commentary in a few minutes.

Dot the I (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0326835/) - a little predictable, but worth the watch for sure. Definitely gonna look out for Natalia Verbeke more, she's beautiful.

Fuck box office success. That doesn't mean a movie's shit or anything. Most of the movie's that people end up liking are the movie's that did terrible at the box office. I'm not a fan of blockbuster movie's either. They just remind me of how sad the world is. The Proposition did well actually, I think it was for the fact that Nick Cave was involved and that it was written as a 'Nick Cave movie' when it wasn't, he just wrote the screenplay and the music score.

I watched The Descent tonight. pretty darn scary. I rarely get scared from horror flicks anymore, but this one did freak me out at certain points. I really liked is, eventhough it was full of clichés and you pretty much knew exactly what to expect all the time. I loved the little bit of dark humor thrown in there too.

Just finished a little House Of Wax marathon...

Mystery of the Wax Museum (1933) (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0024368/)
House of Wax (1953) (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0045888/)
House of Wax (2005) (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0397065/)

The '53 version is a lot like the original, but better I'd say, but neither of those were very scary or even really creepy by todays standards. This year's effort was much more gory and had a lot more suspense, but the essence of the first 2 wasn't there really. I was a cool night though, the contrast of generations.

Just watched it or actually fast forwarded to the "best parts". Pretty disturbing stuff there but didn't do too much for me (I was eating crackers and chocolate at the same time :roll: ). Maybe I need to watch it properly once I get subtitles...

And I got interested in The Descent too.

Tonight I also watched Doom. It was an entertaining action movie like I expected and with some cool stuff from the game (meaning Doom 3 which it was based on) like BFG, chainsaw and Hell Knights...but nothing more. At least I wasn't really disappointed except for the ending.

Recently watched...

Kicking & Screaming (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0384642/) which was OK, Will has done better and worse, so yeah, plus it's a family movie so it had limitations.

Psycho (1960) (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0054215/) - I'd never seen it before so I decided I had to. It seemed to drag on and it's not very scary at all by todays standards, but it was cool, well acted.

Psycho (1998) (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0155975/) - HORRIBLE! Beautifully shot, but Vince Vaughn and Julianne Moore, 2 actors I normally like, were bad choices and Anne Heche and Viggo Mortensen are just horrible actors, especially Anne, dreadful...seriously, like drag hger into the street and hang her in front of townspeople horrible...awful...the first scene felt like a abd high school play...hell, bad Jr. High play.....Vince had some moments though, but overall it just wasn't acted very well, it felt awkward and rushed most of the time.

All this talk of The Fly makes me think I should choose that as my next comparison set, I haven't seen either in years.

I just saw Doom too and I wasn't disappointed since I didn't expect it to be good at all. actually, I was more like pleasantly surprised. I hate what they did with the story though.... I would have loved it if they had made it more like a horror movie instead of dumbed down action. and why oh why did they have to change the story from demons and hell to that scientific bullshit? there are enough such action movies out there already.

anyways, I loved towards the ending when you saw everything from his perspective and the chainsaw and all that. that was cool.

Yeah, the FPS-view was cool and actually one of the best parts of the movie (chainsaw vs. pinky demon...just like the old times :P ).

The mutation-thing got quite a few fans of the game mad but even though I would've liked to see the red rocks, the lava, the demonic images, I wasn't too disappointed to this solution. Meh, they kinda created hell on mars...I don't know, maybe the hell is in mars. Maybe it's a metaphor?? :shock:

I'm wondering if the monsters are released to a sequel...hell on earth?

I saw Remember Me, My Love tonight. I was expecting it to be better, partially because of Monica Bellucci, but also because the plot was somewhat interesting. It was just ok.

A little overdramatic, especially Laura Morante. She screamed in every other scene. I'm not sure if all these actors were overdramatic or if that's the way Italians usually act while getting an arguement. The character Paolo was rather cute.

I watched Donnie Darko last night for the first time. Ok. Umm, well, it took me a whole, like, two hours after it ended to actually start thinking about what it meant and if infact, it actually means anything at all. I talked to my friend about it before I started watching it and she said 'dude, don't try to describe this movie to yourself cause it's near-impossible to describe.' I didn't get what she meant but now I do.

I loved it. It was weird and dark and it has that humorous lament, which is also dark. Frank is the most scariest thing I have seen in my life. The whole dialogue between Frank and Donnie really left me speechless. The whole movie in a sense is so deeply emotional. What is important is that movies like this are made, and are seen by those open to the great possibilities of life and cinema.

The music was unbelievable. Someone is going to be bopping to the record store today to purchase it  8)

Quote from: "The Captain"Speaking of short, I recently found out that Elisha Cuthbert is 5'3" so I'm even more attracted to her because I love short chicks (cause I'm only 5'8" so short chicks make me feel taller)

I'm short, too so 5'8" is pretty tall for me. Actually, anything above 5'4" is tall for me.

smoked a bowl in the car on the way to watching "First Descent". is was a pretty cool movie, documentary style but kinda felt like an ESPN special though
kinda pissed me off though because we got lost trying to find the right door to the movie and we stumbled into the room where they had a secret screening of "V for Vandetta" but the cleaning dudes told us there was a 5minute wait before they let anyone in, and then without thinking, we asked where the right room was for First Descent. damn we're whack, movie doesent come out until march

The movie i'v seen most recently in theatres was Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. Good movie...of course the book was way better, and they did leave alot of shit out of the movie, but I enjoyed it either way. I'm curious on how the rest of the H.P. movies are gonna be since the books keep getting darker and darker.....
Anyhoo...I'm a HUGE fan of asian horro films. A Tale of Two Sisters, Ju-Rei, Momento Mori are some of my faves..Just wondering if any of you have seen these also?

Ong Bak is the latest movie I watched, after a long time of wanting to see it and finally getting round to watching it, I was not dissapointed!, this film is awesome and it's purley about the action (it does have a story, but it's not the reason to see the film) if you love martial arts films with amazing stunts with no CGI or wire work, see this film!

Recently watched...

3-Iron - silence, wow....that's not sarcasm, I couldn't believe the main characters didn't talk at all. It was cool.

Mr. & Mrs. Smith - Fun. Little disappointed Vince and Adam didn't really get to shine as they could have, but it was still fun.

D.E.B.S. - Also fun, satirical with action and lesbians...good times.

and since it was mentioned here recently, I rented The Ice Storm and it was good..sad...but I like sad.

Ghost in the shell 2 Innocence - a really good folowing, visualy stunning and really inteligent, it was like a book or like some sureal cyber phylosofy trip or something. Too inteligent for me though, I have to wath it again.

Final Fantasy 7 Advent Children - eye candy, not much more for me though

Izo(from the director of Ichi The Killer) - nonsense, didn't like it at all.

Drive - I love all Sabu's movies, so funny in such a unique way.

Reading reviews of the movie it seems as if they were nitpicking.

You could have told me it was a 2 hour movie and I would have agreed with you. Three hours goes by so fast despite people complaining that it takes awhile to get to Skull Island.

And Jack Black is great in his role, maybe not perfect, but a lot better than the criticism he has been getting.

A lot of the reviews i've read for King Kong were just nitpicking which shows there isn't much bad with the movie if you have to nitpick to find the bad stuff. I really enjoyed the movie and the build up skull to island made it that much better once they were there. The only complaint I have doesn't even have anything to do with the movie, it's the dumb people that go to the movies to talk and refuse to turn off their cell phones.

The New World (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0402399/), I'd guess...

Few days ago I watched All Quiet On The Western Front (1979 remake) and it was quite good though somehow the english language kinda ruined it. French spoke french but germans spoke english... :roll:

king kong sucked.

to the scandinavian guys - do you know the movie "Popular Music From Vittula"? its a swedish production and I think about watching it today.

here's the story


Popular Music from Vittula is an eye-opening and drastic story about two close friends Matti and Niila, growing up in the mid sixties in the harsh and conservative environment of a Finnish-speaking part of Tornedalen in Swedish Laponia, close to the Finnish border. Their big dream is to become rock stars. In the present the now grown up Matti feels guilt for the death of his drug-addicted rock star friend Niila.

It is a region that feels less worthy and has no real national identity, since they speak neither perfect Swedish nor perfect Finnish and do not feel like real Swedes or Finns. The boys live in a small town called Vittula (means pussy-swamp, it was named this because so many children were born there).

When they first hear the Beatles single Rock and Roll Music, their lives change forever. The music intoxicates them and becomes a weapon with which Niila fights for independence from his tyrannically religious father and reaches for the idea of tangible freedom (climbing the Himalayas one day ). In Vittula playing music is not considered masculine, but finally when they are fifteen a new music teacher helps with their struggle.

Eventually the friends go separate ways, Matti is interested in girls and lets down Niila and the band. Niila never forgives Matti and says he cannot stand the intolerance and the nothingness of life in the north.

In the epilogue, Matti, who still lives in Vittula, carries the urn with Niila´s ashes up to the top of a mountain in the Himalayas. Matti learnt an important life lesson from Niila, that if you are brave and follow your heart you will finally reach the top.

Yeah, I know it but haven't seen it myself. What I've heard, it divides opinions quite a lot and some like it, some don't. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0314524/

Also, if you could get your hands on the finnish movie called "Vares: Private Eye" (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0372594/), I'd recommend to see it. Though I don't know what non-finns would think of it...I think it's one of the best domestic movies lately.

I've been watching Monty Python's again...and I came to a conclusion that Life Of Brian is their best movie. Jolly good!

It was good, but Speilberg kind of hits you over the head with the political message thing.  It's something that bothers me with these kind of movies. They make sure you understand something.

Eric Bana was great in it and it was quite an intense movie but it was too slow when not showing the assasinations. Had it been cut down some it would have been superb.

I recommend seeing it.

Yeah, I was kind of worried about the whole message thing. But nonetheless, I will still try and go out to see it.

It just bugs me how even before it was done filming and no one had seen any of the movie, they were like, "It's and Oscar winner". Do you think it's worthy of an oscar?

there is only 1 Tarantino movie coming out, Hostel, which he produced. he didn't direct/write it. it won't be counted as one of his movies, just like Hero. the other one you're thinking of is Wolf Creek, he had nothing to do with that, he was just quoted in the preview

But that's the best part about horror movies. The cheese. The blood. The guts. Trying to actually scare the audience? That really doesn't work.

By the way Quentin Tarantino is making a movie called Grind House with Robert Rodriguez. It is like a two in one film and they are both homages to really bad gore flicks.

So I caught up on my films this weekend and saw Palindromes, Annie Hall, Swingers and Brokeback Mountain.

Palindromes was weird and dirsturbing, like all of Todd Solondz's films. At first, I thought it was good and I was barely getting the main theme of the film. After I slept on it, I realized then that it was a great film. It just took me a while to get into the whole 50 different Avivas thing.

Annie Hall was good, too. Woody Allen has a quirky sense of humor that I like. Too bad he reminded me way too much of my brother in this film.

Swingers was good, but a little boring in the beginning. I love Vince Vaughn and I enjoyed his acting in this film. Overall it was good, but not great.

After a year and a half of waiting, I finally got to see Brokeback Mountain and it was great. Both Heath and Jake did a good job, as did Michelle Williams, which surprised me.

Some Tarantino news:

After a long period of rumor and speculation, Quentin Tarantino's "Hell Ride" has finally received the green light. According to longtime Tarantino collaborator and leading man Michael Madsen, who is set to star in the movie, Tarantino just recently received the good news. "It's a motorcycle picture," Madsen reported, squinting and rasping in his trademark style. The film, which Tarantino will produce, was written and will be directed by actor Larry Bishop. "He was the one in the [strip] club [in 'Kill Bill 2'] who tells me to take my hat off," Madsen said. "Hell Ride" will be "reminiscent of the '70s, those motorcycle pictures they made with Joe Namath; the really bad B-movie motorcycle movies," he continued. "We're gonna make it like that, but in modern times, with that kind of idea behind it. I think that's what makes it fun." The project, a revenge-fueled tale of three "The Good, the Bad and the Ugly"-type characters, is slated begin filming soon.

I heard a rumor that Quentin Tarantino is going to make a third Kill Bill in like 10 or 15 years in which Uma Thurman's character's daughter, which will be played by the same girl which is why it will take so long to make, is grown up. Allegedly Tarantino has already filmed some scenes with the girl while she is still young. This seems a little far fetched to me though.

yea it's called nadsat, and it's used even more in the book as it's told in the first person, alex.  the book is one of my favourite's, truly stunning, although it's difficult reading at first.  the ending is entirely different aswell.

i finally saw Last Days. i think the only thing i like about it is the fact that it's about an alternative rocker. not many movies out there that cover grunge era musicians. but still, this movie could of been a lot better. a lot of unnecessary long takes that bored me. i enjoyed the Boyz 2 Men part, i didnt expect that haha. and the Venus In Furs one too.

I watched Munich at a late night showing yesterday. I thought it was incredible. I was wary of seeing it cause I really don't like Spielberg's movies, but the screenplay was incredible - taut, fast paced, insert other generic adjectives here. The only issue I had with it was when Ali, a Palestinian terrorist, started arguing with Avner (who he believes to be a member of a different terrorist group) about Israel's right to exist, and Avner didn't say anything concrete like "yes it does!" and didn't argue with him. That scene made me burn with indignation, because Ali was basically spewing misinformation and lies, carefully sensationalised to promote the utmost sympathy for his terroristic cause. For any viewer who isn't well acquainted with the history behind the situation, it's a highly misleading rant. Then again, it wasn't Spielberg's or Kushner's job to present a political discourse (and plot wise, Avner would have given himself away if he flew the We Heart Israel 4eva flag); I think the movie took for granted Israel's right to exist, if not its unquestionable morality.

Though I didn't like the part with the Dutch woman, it did strengthen Spielberg's message about the insatiable, hardening nature of revenge.

Oh, and I <3 Eric. Brilliant acting in this film.

Oh Dave, living in New Orleans is your excuse for everything...as it should be.

"Another is a scene involving a seductive Dutch woman who is part of the terrorist network. Her aim is to seduce one or more Israeli and kill them in her hotel room."

The best thing about being there last night was what happened after the movie. I hung out with these guys (some of them Jewish) and we went to a party that one of them was having and we just ended up discussing the state of Israel at the moment. It was really nice.

I heard one of Sharon's advisors released news (a while ago) that if Sharon was to be re-elected, half of Jerusalem, as well as the whole road leading from Eilat to Jerusalem, would be on the table for Arab control. If this is true, Sharon is mamash dafuk.

Network is basic TV, like you can get it with an antenna, cable/dish you pay for (well, you're supposed to)  and it has (a lot) less restrictions.

I think USA is sort of a "family" channel though so that's probably why it was edited.

I watched Focus. Really really good. I have a new found respect for William H. Macy. He acted exquisitely. I was moved. My dad on the other hand, was a complete wanker. He kept saying how the movie was only trying to empathise the viewers to think being Jewish was ok. I reminded him that his grandfather is a Jew and he hasn't spoken to me since that statement hahaha.

The William H. Macy marathon continues tonight. We rented Psycho (yay Van Sant), Seabiscuit, and Magnolia. It's good watching movies. You get to become apart of these people's lives. It's also providing me with great inspiration to start working on my portfolio for Art School for next year's admissions.

Granted, the idea to remake Hitchcock is just fucking blasphemy, BUT...the movie was shot well, it looked nice, but the actors were HORRIBLE.

Psycho was disappointing. I agree with Tyler, the actors were crap as crap can be. I think the movie was beautifully remade but just the acting, it lacked any suspense whatsoever. I think Anne Heche and Viggo Mortensen were really crap in this and I know Heche isn't a crap actress, she's made some cool films (Prozac Nation, John Q, Birth etc.) I didn't really enjoy it, I breathed a sigh of relief when it was over. It might just be me but I am not a big fan of remakes.

I'd rather not comment on Seabiscuit. I cried a little but the whole horse racing turned me off a little because it is something I'm against therefore it was hard for me to watch it with an open mind sorta speak.

Magnolia was...amazing, brilliant, magnificent, sprawling, passionate and lord, I can go on forever. Tom Cruise blew away everyone sitting in my living room (about nine folks.) It was surprisingly funny, which I didn't expect it to be. I was so moved, seriously y'all. Look I'm getting all Southern on you guys. I've always believed in coincidence, never fate and that's what this movie had, along with the pain and grief. It was fucking great. I thought Punch Drunk Love was the ultimate film P.T. Anderson would ever have made but man, this proved me wrong. Ahhh, go watch it.

what i mean is that when  i think about it i realise that the film worked on the sole basis of building up your expectations. by this i mean, it was apparent, or at least made apparent that this kid cant trust these big gang masters, so to speak. and all the way through you get this feeling that something is gonna go wrong for him. yet.... it just finishes with him fading away.

Quote from: "one weak"anyone seen New World yet? i heard that it was good.

I saw it.  Now keep in mind my short review is based off of a 10 a clock showing at night and I had little sleep. I was tired.

I really liked Malick's style but the poetic love story nature went on for a little too long. I actually liked Colin in this movie.  Maybe because he's quiet. In fact, the entire movie is pretty quiet. It's a visual wonder that didn't need to be close to two and a half hours long. Had it had 15 minutes taken off, it wouldh ave been better.
Title: The movie topic

Title: The movie topic
Post by: one weak on Jan 26, 2006, 11:05 PM
Favorite director- Stan Brakahge. he's an avant-garde filmmaker who recently passed away. his films are much more directed to life and the study of film itself than to entertain

Movie- hmmm...i love so many, but i would say anything during the french new wave period. Truffaut, Goddard, Resnais, Marker etc. don't get me wrong, i love hollywood shit too. i think clint eastwood is making great films these days

what inspires me?- i suppose seeing one of my films up on a large screen. i have made 4 films, and two of them got to be displayed in front of a large crowd, so that was really cool. i would love to post them on the board for everyone to see, but i don't know how.

2 or 3 Things I Know About Her- Jean luc Goddard
Jules Et Jim- Goddard

anything by Truffaut or Goddard is amazing

also i love Italian neo-realism...check out this. one of my favorite movies ever:

The Bicycle Thief (or thieves) -De Sica

on a side note, basically anything that Ingmar Bergman ever did will blow your mind.

Joaquin best actor? No way. Hoffman's got it. I haven't seen Capote or Walk The Line but come on. Hoffman dominates when it comes to the amount of awards he has already received for his work in Capote. And I'd give Giamatti the supporting win.

I didn't assume, I asked. 8)

I'll take your response as approval. I thought Saw 2 was quite good too, but not as good because as a sequel it lacked the originality of the first one, which was what I found so refreshing about it.

It's an amazing movie. Very heartbreaking, but the acting is so incredible. It's a movie everyone should see.

It's not a "drug-movie", it involves drugs but its more a movie about addiction (there are many addictions other than drugs) and what it does to you and the world around you.

I don't really classify part 2 of a trilogy as a sequel.Terminator 2 is a good call though.I should have said "99% of the time".

I saw two movies about two writers that have made literature history.

One of the movies was Sylvia. For a movie that Gwyneth Paltrow was dying to make, she didn't show that "great" acting of hers. I'm not a fan with her to begin with and this movie proves why. She didn't spark with me, although I could relate to much of Sylvia Plath's paranoias which scared me quite a bit. The movie was bland and I understand now why it got such bad reviews. I just saw it for the intrigue I had about Ms. Plath.

The second film I saw was Capote which was tons better. Philip Seymour Hoffman just kicks so much ass and I love him in this. I'm really split about who should get the Best Actor Oscar. I'm between Philip and Joaquin, but I'll be greatly happy if either wins.

Well I watched Requiem for a Dream today. Mixed feelings really. Powerful stuff, brilliantly shot and acted, but I just didn't see the point of it all. It seemed to be communicating the devastation that addiction to anything can cause, but I think we're all well aware of these dangers anyway so I didn't feel like it enlightened me at all.

Maybe I need to see it again - you tend to notice more upon repeat viewings.

About that movie, I felt it was a mediocre crime movie until, of course, the end.  Did that guy deserve the Oscar for best screenplay? No. Nice twist does not make an entire script good.

But Spacey, boy did he deserve it. The twist and he made the movie worth watching. He is such a badass.

Garden State is a good film, but I get what you mean. The ending made me cry, but it didn't really have a big impact on me like Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, even though that movie didn't make me cry.

But indeed, it does have an awesome soundtrack. Same with Baz Luhrman's Romeo + Juliet, although I hate that version of the play.

It was an aweful movie.

Surely the purpose of a film like this should be to promote the fact that race should not really be an issue in these situations, but by making it the sole focus of every scene, doesn't it become innately racist itself? Characters walk around spouting their philosophies and conveniently memorised statistics on race relations as though they're regurgitating extracts from the research essay they've just written. It's utterly unconvincing and obvious. A film should reveal its meaning gradually, not slap us in the face with it in the opening scenes and then never let up. I can see that Haggis' intentions with this film were honorable, but dare I suggest that by directing his own script he has not been able to identify and, therefore, overcome its flaws. I really hope that writer/directors will be really careful in future when approaching this 'mosaic' style of narrative. It has been done well a number of times, but getting the balance between the personal and the political right is very difficult..

Racism is bad.. what, REALLY!??

It was an aweful movie.

Surely the purpose of a film like this should be to promote the fact that race should not really be an issue in these situations, but by making it the sole focus of every scene, doesn't it become innately racist itself? Characters walk around spouting their philosophies and conveniently memorised statistics on race relations as though they're regurgitating extracts from the research essay they've just written. It's utterly unconvincing and obvious. A film should reveal its meaning gradually, not slap us in the face with it in the opening scenes and then never let up. I can see that Haggis' intentions with this film were honorable, but dare I suggest that by directing his own script he has not been able to identify and, therefore, overcome its flaws. I really hope that writer/directors will be really careful in future when approaching this 'mosaic' style of narrative. It has been done well a number of times, but getting the balance between the personal and the political right is very difficult..

Racism is bad.. what, REALLY!??

If you lived in L.A. you would understand why it's a great movie.

Saw Dancer In the Dark again after not seeing it for like 2 years...I love this movie. I don't like musicals but something about it being B'Jork and all the songs not being corny (ala RENT), its just great. The end always makes me cry.

Title: Re: The movie topic
Post by: manic_bastard on Feb 27, 2006, 12:52 AM
there's a bunch of sex scenes in it and it's plot has to do with James Spader and his wife growing a sexual fetish for car crashes or something. supposedly no one wanted to release the movie but it eventually did get released. it's nothing shocking really, it's just weird subject matter. and you know how the american public responds to weird sexual movies.

oh yeah and it's directed by David Cronenberg. so thats cool
it's worth checking if it sounds interesting to you

I saw Owning Mahowny today. Not as good as I thought it would be. The character, Dan Mahowny, is just very frustrating to watch. You want him to stop, but you can feel that he can't stop no matter who says what during this. Philip Seymour Hoffman is always a good watch. Him and Kevin Spacey have to be my two favorite actors of all time.

Title: Re: The movie topic
Post by: one weak on Mar 09, 2006, 10:34 PM
it did win best actress. but yeah, i was personally in favor of Joaquin winning best actor, maybe a personal bias, but i thought his role had more to it than Hoffman's. although i give credit to Hoffman, he did a great job....just glad Heath Ledger didn't win becuase i think his career thus far has been quite shitty and it appears that Ang Lee can force anyone to act well. i mean Tobe Maguire in The Ice Storm, his best performance to date and that was years ago.

the oscars just aren't what they used to be, and Hollywood films just aren't what they used to be either so whatever.
Title: Re: The movie topic
Post by: Breach Unborn on Mar 09, 2006, 11:38 PM
right..i knew Reece won. i watched the last 2 hours of the Oscars. it just pisses me off that Hoffman beat Phoenix because i think of him in roles like...Red Dragon, The Big Lebowski, Boogy Nights, Along Came Polly...and he's not anything special in any of those. but, like i said, i haven't seen the movie he won for..i will have to do that.

and i personally have a bias toward Joaquin winning...i grew up listening to Johnny Cash because my dad does all the time. his performance of Johnny was amazing

He was awesome in Capote, but I suggest seeing Happiness and Magnolia if you haven't already. I love him in those. I love his acting and it's about time he got recognized for it.

This is the second time Phoenix has been nominated for an Oscar, so I'm not too worried about him. He'll get it.

Yep, saw it a few hours ago. To me, that movie was like an educational film in how to overthrow a dictatorship. Useful knowledge to have you know! ;D I thought it was damn cool, although Natalie Portman's acting and irritating attempt at a British accent did little to endear me to her.

i just saw it. hmmm... i duno its kinda cool.... mmmkay its pretty cool. the movie is story'sh, it's long but fair enough not boring.

Yep, saw it a few hours ago. To me, that movie was like an educational film in how to overthrow a dictatorship. Useful knowledge to have you know! ;D I thought it was damn cool, although Natalie Portman's acting and irritating attempt at a British accent did little to endear me to her. She was really good in Leon, it must have been a childhood phase haha.
yeah I also thought it was Matrix'sh type of movie but it's okay, the last fight scene was cool enough. it's a movie for the government to see, those of them hiding stuff from the people should see this movie.

tonight i saw:

A History of Violence - really good, I dig all Cronenberg movies.

The Constant Gardener - really boring

i loved history of violence. just bought the dvd the other day, and it was kind of a rip off. $24 Canadian for A single disc dvd that didnt even come with a booklet. Great movie though. I also liked Videodrome. I wanna see Crash though, I heard that one's quite odd.

Hey, what do you think about this movie? I really like this one..
Of course, the reason for loving it is that I am going to play this show on this school year end. And I`ll play the Christian.. Damn, he (Ewan McGregor) has a very high tone voice, so I train much. Well, still, I am able to sing everything. Ain`t this nice?
Anyway, what do you think about movie?

i've seen it. i dont know. it's a chick film to me cause it's a musical and all of that.  and im not into that. Baz's editing is really really weird to me but it's original i guess. Kidman's pretty hot in it

So I caught up on my films this weekend. It's nice when you see great films that remind you why you love films in general.

The first movie I saw was Manic, which was really, really good. Despite the fact that it was lengthy in some parts and Joseph Gordon-Levitt has gotten hotter, I really did think it was awesome. There were some great acting and I always enjoy seeing Zooey Deschanel on the screen. A lot of band dropping too such as Rage Against The Machine and played some Sleater-Kinney, but you want to know the best part of this film? When they stopped playing Sleater-Kinney (Well, not that part), and put on Head Up and started moshing to it. I just about had an orgasm when I saw that scene. I didn't know Thurston Moore had done some of the music for that film until the end. It was beautifully done.

The second film I watched was Transamerica, which was also good. Felicity Huffman did an excellent job being a woman who was playing a man trying to be a woman. Oh, and that kid from Air Bud has grown up A LOT and in a good way. He reminded me a lot of Conor Oberst.

The third film I saw was Broken Flowers which was ok. It was a little slow going and none of Don Johnston's exes were really intriguing. Bill Murray was much better in Lost In Translation.

Nice reviews.

I watched a film called "Dead Birds" last night.Western horror with good old Henry Thomas.Ripped off a lot of recent horror flicks but in a good way and it managed to hold a sense of dread quite well through out.

Worth a watch.

I watched Irréversible today for the first time. I was not impressed...at all.
Seriously, what was the point with this movie?

I felt like this movie was only made so the viewer could see the rape scene and the fire-extinguisher scene. It was made to shock, nothing more.
The camera work was also annoying. A dark, cynical movie with no real message.

Monica Belluci is a fine woman though.

Sweet ass movie, Charlie Sheen gets all bloody drunk at the beginning at a bar a falls out of a window and fucks his shit up then gets a 90 day charge to go to like an prisoner army camp or some with a bunch of brothers and he was like the only honkey. The movie was funny, i thought it was a comedy until Martin Sheen shot his "nigger" in the face and I pushed the info 2 see it was actually a drama. It was funny until the very end when Martin Sheen blew that guy away.

I saw that at the cinema a while ago, I don't remember enjoying it all that much.

I went to see The Inside Man the other night. I normally can't stand those action type movies about bank robberies but this was more of a thriller and I thought it was pretty damn good. A lot of suspense and well acted. I recommend it.

Did anyone else go see The Proposition?

I found out what the film was about last week and I was dying to watch it, but they're not showing it at cinemas anymore damn it! It was only out for like 3 or 4 weeks... ???

yeah, it wasnt like a big time film really, still one of the best films i have ever seen. it deals with everything but corruption is a big part of of it... loved it.

Last movie I watched was "Land Of The Dead". Nice, entertaining zombie action. Actually quite similar to "Dawn Of The Dead"-remake but not as good.

Tonight I'll probably watch "Amores Perros" or "Shawshank Redemption". Or maybe "Platoon" or "Fight Club"...uh, too much choices. :-\

That was a good movie, but a got a little too weird even for me.

Well it's been ages since I've seen a movie (A month) which is a lifetime span, so since it's Spring Break I decided to catch up on those lovely films and I still have more to go, but onto the ones I did see.

I saw The Squid and The Whale which was really good. Jeff Daniels did an excellent acting job, as did Laura Linney and surprisingly Owen Kline. It was nice to see a David Lynch reference in that film, too. =)

I also had the chance to check out Lucky Number Slevin too. It was good, but I thought it tried too hard to be The Usual Suspects at certain points. I still managed to enjoy it, though.

I saw parts of Two For The Money and yeah...not good.

It's one of the best films I've ever seen.

Spanish black comedy/horror and one of the more original films I've seen in terms of the overused "antichrist" premise/plot.It's pretty easy to find in New Zealand.

I saw a few more movies yesterday.

I watched Last Days and artistically it was a great film, but plot wise it was the dullest film ever. The guy was high during his last days so there really wasn't too much to document, but the fact that there was barely any dialogue made it better. Michael Pitt did an excellent acting job.

I also saw The United States of Leland which reminded me of Manic. It was good nonetheless, but I wish there was more Kevin Spacey. There is no such thing as too much Kevin Spacey.

Hmmm... yeah it was, the gore was in just the right amount I think. Not too excessive, but it was definitely there. How scary the film was is too subjective for me to give any meaningful opinion on it really, but I definitely recommend it. It's the best video-game 'conversion' I've seen.

Hmmm... yeah I know what you mean, still I don't think it ruined the film at all. I never really played the game properly to be honest so maybe you're looking at it from a fan of the game's point of view. Apparently the beginning (when they arrive in Silent Hill) is exactly the same as the game though.

Anyways, as a supernatural horror in its own right, I think it was pretty good. I think the only thing that let it down was the somewhat unrealistic CGI on some of the creatures.

Enid (Thora Birch) and Rebecca (Scarlett Johansson) are best friends having difficulties in social attitude with other people. After graduating high school, they decide to get a job and rent a house of their own. However, Enid needs to attend Arts summer school to graduate and her unsociable behavior makes her lose her job. Meanwhile, Enid and Rebecca play a prank on Seymour (Steve Buscemi), a middle-aged collector of vinyl record that feels also difficulties of relationships. Seymour and Enid eventually become friends. Along the days, Enid reaches maturity and a different view of life.

i havent played the games much so i wouldnt know (RE through and through haha!), maybe thats why im more satisfied. But the enemies looked fucking evil, that was really well done and really impressive. Still it was rather complex though and some things for me didn't get cleared up.

Title: Re: The movie topic
Post by: one weak on Apr 28, 2006, 08:09 AM
so i was thinking the other day about the fact movies were really great before sound came along, and then for a while, they were terrible. no one knew how to act and talk at the same time!! eventually things got better and people understood how to use sound and film at the same time

well...that is exactly how i feel about digital cinema. directors are paying way too much attention on shooting digitally and CGI and not paying enough attention to the script or acting. i watched Star Wars: the revenge of the sith yesterday and it was awful. not only are the loopholes in the script huge, but the acting is terrible. Lucas is a moron and he tries to make up for the fact that no one has really understood how to shoot a proper digital film yet by filling the frame with constant bullshit to distract the audience. it looks like a video game, not a movie...and in my opinion that's not a good thing.

sin city is the only thing i can think of which makes the best attempt at using the spectrum of digital formats. yet it still lacks in some areas.

collateral was cool shot digitally, but it probably would have looked better on film

we'll see how superman does, it's supposedly shot on some 4k camera, but will most likely be projected on 2k screens or transfered to 35mm which is even dumber.

so in 5 or 10 years we might actually have some good movies shot and projected digitally, but until someone figures out a way to make it a useful experience, then we're going to keep getting cool movies with shitty acting and storyline because some yahoo knows how to hold a camera but can't write for shit.

[/ramble]
Title: Re: The movie topic
Post by: fireflyry on Apr 28, 2006, 08:26 AM
Good point.

I'm not holding my breath on the new Superman but I agree on the Star Wars front.The last 3 films were such a huge fuck up it really taints the Star Wars series as a whole and George Lucas should never have directed period.

I kind of view movies like music these days though.There's the business/marketing giant seemingly focused on making profit while pumping out films that are really just extended CGI video game intros (personally I found King Kong to be a let down too IMO) and then there are the "underground" films or films made with passion and the motivation of a purely good script.

I guess personally it seems the line between the two has thickened with the intergration of big budget CGI and a good script seemingly becoming rarer by the year.
Title: Re: The movie topic
Post by: one weak on Apr 28, 2006, 09:18 AM
yep. post-production in the digital format has been a huge success, and furthermore, is something that has been taken with stride. now we must embark on the transition to shoot digitally, which is much more of a problem than it sounds. sure it's cheaper, but if not done correctly, it looks like shit.

i also learned today that an average 35mm print can be put in the archives and last without any modifications for about 100 years. a digital disc....15 tops before it starts to decay. so what are film students going to study in 50 years when all the digital films have been eliminated?
Title: Re: The movie topic
Post by: fireflyry on Apr 28, 2006, 09:29 AM
Good question.

I guess it strikes parallels with the advent of digital technology in audio.With a $1000-3000(NZD) PC and Pro-Tools anyone can make an album but is that freedom detrimental to overall quality and substance?

The same could be said for audio storage and history although digital is almost instantly transferable so even after 10 years it only takes a few minutes to make another copy which is'nt really applicable with older film is it?I would assume most older films are already on a digital medium especially when used for teaching/research purposes.

finally got to watch Collateral yesterday. you can dislike Tom Cruise for being a dick, but he's a good actor. great movie, i recommend it. the scene with "shadow of the sun" of audioslave playing in the background and the wolf in los angeles walking around was stunning, i also like the perspective, they're using some kind of nightvision camera in the whole movie.

Who havent I treated good in here? I havent treated you bad or said anything about you. I just said that you always interfere in other people's conversations (like now).

Do you call that treating others bad?
Title: Re: The movie topic
Post by: Assassin on Apr 29, 2006, 11:00 PM
You're persistently rude and negative. I'd say that's bad.

And btw, if you have a problem with people 'interfering' in your 'conversations', don't post them on a public forum where other people can read them. Use PMs. Problem solved.

yeah i think the plot of the movie is only sex, drugs and rock n' roll, nothing else...


ohh yesterday was a good sunday, I saw "Crash" and "Coffee and cigarretes"

i liked a lot crash, how all this characters has something in common, and how the director told the story.

and coffee and cigarretes, is just a bunch of short movies, where are involved coffee and cigarretes. i liked the "cousins?".

it doesn't really matter. i've seen it countless times both ways, and i actually prefer it without the score. it seems more fitting to me becuase half the film was lost during world war 2 i believe. they recut what they had after that. anyway, without the score, you are forced to watch with a more connected view of joan. the close-ups are amazing and, and you don't need music to make an emotional connection with the film by any means.

in my opinion, this is the BEST acting by an actress in all of cinema, and i would love to put that up against any other film.

so have fun man. hopefully this film does for you what it does for me!

I saw Misson Impossible 3.My mates statement sums it up better than I could.

Quote from: half_pommy.....IS SO FUCKING SHIT.

i saw it ...it was crap...just as bad as the second one...

keri russell is in it for like 10 minutes before she dies, the film is more focused on ethan hunt's marriage which is just shit, and the whole 'rabbit's foot' they are trying to find the audience never find out what it is therefore making the film even more pointless

shit shit shit.


anyone who thinks mission impossible is about blowing shit up is severly wrong, its about double crossing, espionage etc...the first one got it so right but these sequels are awful....

actions sequence....tom swished hair....action sequence....slow motion tom shooting a gun...action sequence.....some form of 'plot'....action sequence...tom nearly dies but we know he doesnt...action sequence....film tries to explain to the audience what the fuck has been going on the past 2 hours but fails miserably.....credits.

SHIT.

I actually liked it, but like I said in another thread, i thought there was too many characters or people in it. The games are scary because of the loneliness involved with it, but ya know apart from that, I generally enjoyed it! And they used the music from the games too, which is cool!

Before it was just fanboys and a like talking about how much X3 sucks, and alot of you totally blew off there opinions... Well MSN has posted their review and surprise surprise they shit canned the movie


May 19, 2006

Riddle: What do you get when you cross hacks with a successful movie franchise?

Answer: "X-Men: The Last Stand"

Not very clever, eh? Well, neither is the third (and hopefully "last" indeed) installment of the once-smart and enjoyable "X-Men" series. Nor is it fun, exciting, or, at the very least, a nice little popcorn movie. One person leaving the very exclusive preview screening here at Cannes (the film doesn't makes it Palais premiere until Monday) exclaimed, "That was one of the worst movies I've ever seen."

Now, granted, it's not that bad (that'd be Alan Parker's "Mississippi Burning"... but we'll leave that for another time) and in fact, it's so silly that it's hard to get very worked up about it. I mean, honestly, when director Bryan Singer left the series to tackle "Superman Returns" and the studio signed Brett Ratner — the cheese-eater behind such foolishness as "Family Man" and "Rush Hour" — to take over, did you think this would be good? No, me neither... but I hoped, damnit. You gotta have hope, right?

Well, hope blossomed when rumors started appearing: Ratner is changing the original storyline or the cast isn't getting along with Ratner. And then earlier this year, "X-Men" suddenly became a trilogy! Oh, really? When did that happen? During a marketing meeting after some dailies were viewed?

But after watching the movie, the word "trilogy" seems most appropriate. You may have noticed I used the plural "hacks" earlier; that's because Ratner is not the only man responsible for this lame finale. No, we have a trilogy of trash and need to share the shovel. So let's give credit where credit is due and thank "screenwriters" Simon Kinberg and Zak Penn (the latter, by the way, should change his surname) for such wonderful lines as these:


"Storm, you of all people should know how fast the weather can change."

"Sometimes when you cage the beast, the beast gets angry."

"If Magneto wants a war, he's got one!"

"God help us all."

"We will stand together... like X-Men."

"Nooooooooooo!" — one character, screaming towards the sky, holding another dead character, camera craning above their heads (didn't "The Simpsons" kill that cliché?).

Here's the story these fine men concocted: It's a short time following the death of Jean Grey (Famke Janssen), and both Wolverine (Hugh Jackman) and Cyclops (James Marsden) haven't healed (you can tell this about Cyclops because the poor man hasn't shaved, a sure sign of depression). When Cyclops begins hearing Grey's voice, he heads to the lake that drowned her, fires lasers into the water and bingo, Jean is back! But she's not Jean... it seems Jean had two sides and Professor Charles Xavier (Patrick Stewart) suppressed her dark side. Now, she's back as the Phoenix and hell is about to break loose (poor Janssen has about seven lines in the film, and the rest of the time is left to glower).

Meanwhile, the government has come up with a way to "cure" mutants and offers it to the world. This angers Magneto (Ian McKellen, who, after this Cannes experience, needs to work in indie films for awhile), who then rallies mutants to fight back against the humans. Mutants are forced to choose sides, but we as viewers have no choice but to watch this play out until its big-bang conclusion. My favorite part: After about 15 minutes of fighting, Magneto bellows, "Let's end this war now!" War? Man, that was barely a battle.

Now, the other two "X-Men" didn't have much in the way of plot either. But what they did have was character relationships and some nifty subtext about homosexuality, race, and general otherness. Remember those wonderfully tender scenes between Wolverine and Rogue (Anna Paquin, completely wasted here)? Gone. We get one here, and Rogue is a non-issue in the movie. Instead, Ratner and company populate the movie with new mutants who have wicked awesome powers, dude... but whom you never get to know or even recognize half the time. Why not develop the characters you have? Oh, right... the next action piece, full of explosions and CGI, is coming up. Ratner loves his toys.

And remember the wink-wink "we know this is silly, but hell, let's have fun" humor? Gone too, replaced by wince-inducing catch phrases that Sly or Arnold wouldn't go near.

Personally, I can't wait to hear about the reception the finicky Cannes audience will give the film. It might make all of this worth it.

And Bryan Singer? "Superman Returns" better be good. You abandoned us.

I rented A Clockwork Orange....It was ok....In theaters the last movies I saw were the Da Vinci Code [Like the book better]....and Silent Hill [Love the games] Gotta watch Finding Neverland
Title: Re: The movie topic
Post by: Azwethinkweiz on May 28, 2006, 02:45 AM
^ A Clockwork Orange is spectacular.

Anyways, Three...Extremes really dissapointed me. I mean, all three of the movies were really good and well made, but none of them even scared me a little. I thought this movie was going to scare the shit out of me, but it didnt.

I had my hopes up too high.

Btw, I enjoyed Cut the most.

Well, I don't think they weren't meant to be so scary. Sometimes with the asian "horror" films, they aren't as scary as the reviews say, but I love them for their substance and great visuals. With Three...Extremes, I thought them more as creepy, sick, demented, but not scary. Just like The Audition, some say it's scary, but I think it's a real kind of scary, not just a bump in the closet scary.

Was "Cut" the last one?

I want to see this film, Pan's Labyrinth:

I saw Brokeback Mountain.  I haven't seen Crash yet but right now I'm thinking they made the right decision.

Brokeback Mountain has great directing and acting as well as cinematography but the story just didn't seem fully fleshed.

Being a big fan of Kevin Spacey and not really being a fan at all of Superman I saw the movie Superman Returns today.

And I'll say it's ok.  The best things about the movie are the following:

-Kevin Spacey
-Hal Penn.  I didn't know he was going to be in the movie.  Kumar made it into a Superman movie.
-Watching Brandon Routh as Clark Kent.  More interesting than when he's Superman.
-Superman saving the plane.  Pretty cool.

She and Kevin had better chemistry then the two that were supposed to have good chemistry. She was pretty entertaining.   They should have just made the movie focus around the bad guys. That would have been so much cooler.

I saw POTC: Dead Man's Chest tonight.

This movie is going to be huge. I had to buy my tickets 4 hours early because when I wanted to see the movie they were sold out until then.  It was a great movie.  It's the kind of summer movie that this summer is lacking.  What all summers should have.  Great humor, great special effects and amazing stunts.  For the first time in a long time the stunts of a hollywood movie really amazed me.  Maybe that's because everything is CGI these days.

Definitely worth the money to see it.

i went to see Live and Become (or Va, vis et deviens) at my friend's house last night. it's the harrowing story of a young Ethiopian boy who is coerced by his mother into leaving their Sudanese refugee camp for Israel, under the false pretense of being a Falasha (an Ethiopian Jew). in Israel, Salomon is renamed the Hebrew Schlomo, and begins life as a 'Jew' as he is taken out of school and into a foster home. and so it goes from there, spanning the years from Schlomo's arrival in Israel, through his teenage years up until after his marriage. just so many issues in the one film. touching, and surprisingly funny in places. very much recommended. and stock up on the tissues!! Went for a brief drink after the movie at our favourite local bar. i've missed that place.

I saw Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang tonight.  Not what I was expecting and that's a bad thing.  It was kind of lame.  The whole narrating thing was just stupid.  It had that feeling like it was trying to be cool that way.  Val Kilmer, however, was just awesome in it.

a complete waste of time.

Whoa. I thought the visual represenation was amazing.  Have you played the games? Being a fan of the games I was very happy with the visuals in that movie.  The story line was pretty bad but it was such a visually appealing movie.
Title: Re: The movie topic
Post by: Azwethinkweiz on Jul 17, 2006, 02:28 AM
i must be blind then. me and my mates all agreed that the visuals looked fake, very fake and there was just "too much" of everything.

and no, i havent played the game, but i know a bad movie when i see one. 
Title: Re: The movie topic
Post by: defskull on Jul 17, 2006, 09:07 AM
It definitely wasn't the greatest movie.  The whole religous plot line thing was really weird/lame.

Maybe you should have played some of the games first.  It was definitely an exciting experience when I went to see it.

I just saw Happy Accidents. It was a good film indeed, although Tomei got on my fucking nerves, but Vincent D'Onofrio is good like always. It just got too predictable at the end.

I saw Se7en uncut and of course it was fucking awesome. Brad Pitt has some great one liners in there.

I also saw Strangers With Candy which was funnier than I anticipated. I was shocked to see Philip Seymour Hoffman in it. Even though he had a really small role, he was still as memorable as the main characters.
Title: Re: The movie topic
Post by: defskull on Jul 24, 2006, 05:36 AM
I saw Pirates 2 again.

This makes a whole lot more sense when you have recently seen the first one. 

The POTC series is up there with Star Wars and LOTR.  It's truly great. 

I don't remember many one liners from Brad Pitt in that movie.  I remember him being kind of annoying sometimes.  Too brash I guess. As in over the top.

Last night I watch 'The Seed of Chucky', there was nothing much on TV and I remembered when I first saw Chucky at my aunts when I was about 8 and I was fucking shitting it, it would have been so bad but my aunt had a 2 foot Chucky doll and my cousin put it in the room I was staying in and the film gave me nightmares enough with out waking to see the doll looking at me. Anyway, I thought I might have been in for a bit of a scare but I was really dissapointed in this film, it just seemed shit compared to 'Chucky' it may have been better if Hannah 'S Club 7' Sperrett wasn't in it. God I miss slasher gore horrors from the 80's.

So I saw Clerks for the first time tonight, which makes me feel like a real bad movie fan now. I can't believe it took me so long for me to see it, but I'm glad I did. It was smart and funny and the dialogue was hypnotizing. This definitely makes a mark on my favorite movies of all time list. Probably the best film I have seen all summer.

I am a little disheartened that they made a Clerks 2.

I think the scariest bit was when she's having the dream and the figure of her mother comes crawling through the room, and climbs up onto the bed, and the hand comes from her crotch. Fucking wierd! See, the Asian people have this shit down to a tee, they just use the perfect sounds and makeup and lighting and that, to give the film the perfect dark and creepy atmosphere.

This is film to me though seemed almost like a Dave Lynch film after first viewing because at the end I was just like 'WTF happened there?'. Then I watched it the second time around and things started making more sense, and there was things I didnt notice before.

I still have one question about this film, but I'm not gonna ask it so as to not spoil the film for anyone who hasnt seen it.

So I saw four movies this weekend. I pretty much went on a well deserved binge and boy did it feel awesome.

The first movie I saw was Crush which was a light and good romantic comedy. I'm not the biggest fan of Andie McDowell but she did a good job in this role.

I then saw Shattered Glass which was the best of the bunch. The story was great and the performances were wonderful. Hayden Christensen really impressed me along with Peter Sarsgaard.

After that I saw Bend It Like Beckham which was awesome. Keira was ab fab, which is weird for me to think since I'm not too big on her. She's starting to grow on me now.

Last I saw Prime which sucked. Uma is such a good actress yet she picks such shitty roles.

Watched Ichi The Killer last night for the first time, gees that film is wierd/sick. Just wondered what the opinion of those who have seen it on here is?

haha that movie is insane. but i enjoyed it. it was pretty funny at times too (in a really dark, bizarre way!)

watched 'dawn of the dead' remake tonight. you can say alot of bad things about remakes, but this one rocks.

Yeah, Ichi's quite sick but sometimes that over-the-top 'humor' is funny.

And DOTD is entertaining zombie-fun from beginning to end. I was positively surprised. That "tell him to shoot Burt Reynolds"-scene was just brilliant.

I saw The Black Dahlia today and to be completely honest, I was a little disappointed. I thought it would have been creepier, but then again I wasn't too big on Scarface, either. I was impressed with Josh Hartnett's performance. He has a good narrorating voice and knows how to be suave and kick ass at the same time. I think the biggest problem I had was the acting in the film. It seemed very cheesy, but I just assumed that was what Brian was going for since it takes place in the 1940's. I must say that both Hilary Swank and Scarlett Johansson know how to pull of the old time look. I swear they were born in the wrong decade.

i'm watching a Bernardo Bertolucci movie tonight with shoshanna. not sure which one. it's supposed to be a surprise. anything by him would be remarkable i suppose.

i need to watch some documentaries again. i've not watched one since three days ago about Bolivia's government. i'm interested in the Al Gore doco i keep hearing about.

I suggest you read the book (and the sequels) from Arthur C. Clarke for a better understanding... Plus, you really should watch it several times.

I just watched King Kong.... to sum it up, I'll re-post what I posted on the IMDB boards:

"I love Lord of The Rings, no doubt about it. and I love Braindead and Bad Taste. so obviously I was a fan of Peter Jackson. before I saw this. I'm sorry, but this is such a bad excuse for a movie. *this* movie should've been named Braindead. because that's exactly what it is. ok, let's look at the basic story line.... no problems here, I like it. too bad he didn't write it. now let's look at the screenplay... ordinary, nothing special. except for the EXTREMELY annoying part where we're watching Kong swinging that girl around in his hand for about 20 mins. what the hell was the point of that?! I think we all caught the drift right away when we saw how big and mean he was. that scene just gave me a headache and made me dizzy. and that *beep* was repeated several times later on as if it would still impress us! and then we have the action scenes. wow, this is probaby the worst part of the movie... that gorilla should've been in WWF. those moves, man... too bad it looked friggin hilarious though. and waaay out of character for a *beep* GORILLA!!!

oh, there's so much more to say... but I'm feeling genuinely sick from thinking any more about this movie. I gotta go watch some pr0n to up my IQ a bit again. "

i watched a brazilian film called abril despedacado. utterly brilliant. the cinematography was unbelievably stunning, especially the end when the main character is walking through the field after something bad has completely gone down and the sky looks so beautiful and he gets to the ocean. then the movie ends.

but the whole story was so good. i loved all the little details and the playfulness of some scenes because it's quite a bleak movie.

plus perving on rodrigo santoro is quite nice. you know, when he's all broody and lost. i love them when they brood.

Really?  I'm impressed that someone gave an indy such a high mark.  They always get credit but are typically buried beneath the hollywood fodder and classics.  I did like that one, I wanted it to be a bit longer and darker, but the atmosphere that it created was pretty impressive.  Nice pick.

Was it better than the remake? I found that one cool but there wasn't much they could of done with it that would of went out of context with the old one.

That film is brilliant but I wouldn't call it horror. And as you can see at the beginning this virus comes from apes at first.

Yeah, maybe so, but it was horrible enough in my book  ;D

I saw Marie Antoinette a couple of days ago and it was ok. The ending was maybe a bit too short. They could have included the execution in the film too...

The Seven Year Itch
Shaun of the Dead
Masters of Horror: Imprint (Miike)

Some recent watches.  The Seven Year Itch is one of my favorite movies of all time, as well as favorite comedies (tied with Friday).  Shaun of the Dead just plain rocks.  The Takashi Miike episode was good and not as bad as I thought it would be (if you've seen Visitor Q you'll know what I'm talking about) but the ending was a bit taboo and I think that's why it got banned.

I can't wait to see this new Jim Carrey movie. Looking forward to see him in a role like this.

(http://images.apple.com/moviesxml/s/newline/posters/thenumber23_l200612061852.jpg)

A man whose life unravels after he comes into contact with an obscure book titled The Number 23. As he reads the book, he becomes increasingly convinced that it is based on his own life. His obsession with the number 23 starts to consume him, and he begins to realize the book forecasts far graver consequences for his life than he could have ever imagined.

This one girl is coming to my place tomorrow night and we're planning to watch a movie etc. Soooo, any tips about the movie? She loves horror, I on the other hand am scared to death of such genre. It can be a comedy, a drama, a thriller, anything, as long as it will be the best movie that she has ever seen.

Just let me know if my standards are too high for the movie okay.

That is actually a great idea, even though it also really scares me at the same time...
Okay, so could someone give me an example of a good horror movie then, something a bit less known maybe, so that she hasn't seen it before. And also, please don't make it too scary, I truly do not want to cry from fear while watching it.

Edit. How about "From Dusk Till Dawn", I've heard great things about it. Is it all that?

Edit 2. Give me some otehr options as well, the place might not have that movie.

Edit 3. Well, too many edits already, but it seems that the movie is actually not all that.. So, a good horror movie is still needed.
Title: Re: The movie topic

Well, actually, I just met her for the first time on wednesday at a bar and we're now gonna spent tomorrow evening together at my place... Bit of food, bit of wine, bit of music, a good movie.. All I know is that she loves horror films, she also thinks that the newest horror films are not even that scary.

Hmm, From Dusk Till Dawn.. I've been reading about it and I keep seeing that it's okay but nothing special. Although some people seem to think taht it truly is very very good. I'm guessing that she has not seen it, and also, it seems that it's bit more than just "normal horror", so it could be good choice for the evening....
Umm.... maybe I should go with that..
Title: Re: The movie topic
Post by: An bád dubh on Dec 09, 2006, 12:40 AM
Okay, I think I found a suitable movie:

Dawn of the Dead

There are 2 versions, the original from I guess 1979 and the one from 2004. I watched the trailer to the one from 2004 and it's fucking scary, I don't think I can fall asleep tonight.. But yea, you guys seen this movie, is it good?

Hmm, for some reason I seem to trust the opinions of the fellow Sharinglungs members than the people on IMDB...
Title: Re: The movie topic
Post by: Azwethinkweiz on Dec 09, 2006, 01:35 AM
the 1979 version isnt really scary. it's still a classic though.

i'd go with the remake (2004). it's a great movie, good scares and decent gore.

the original is veeeeeery slow-paced so i dont think it would be suitable for a date movie.

Post by: oldgentlovecraft on Dec 09, 2006, 07:13 AM
Why don't you just ask her which one she'd rather watch, play it cool and say something about how slow zombies are better to bait her into a discussion to see which she's into.  If she says slow then it's oldschool Dawn of the Dead all the way.  If she says the faster zombies are much scarier then pick up the new one.  It will also tell you if she's really a true fan of horror films or just a typical fan.

Doesn't exactly determine if she is a true fan or not. It's very possible she's a hardcore horror fan and just be in the mood for the recent jolts.
Title: Re: The movie topic
Post by: An bád dubh on Dec 09, 2006, 11:34 AM
Good pointers guys, and now I'm confident that Dawn of the Dead is the one to go with. Also, I'm gonna go with the newer one, the trailer looked awesome - although oh so scary - and I'm sure that even the biggest horror fan would get scared watching that movie.

And yeah, I'm just gonna surprise her, because when she said that she loves horror I immediately replied that I'm scared out of my mind of horror movies. So this is something that she's not gonna be expecting at all, and I like to give people something that they are not expecting, even though they want it.

And yeah, you said it DefSkull, my feeling is that she hasn't been able to find any good NEW horror movies, thus this will also take her off guard on that sense and hopefully surprise her even more when she notices that she loves this one.

Maybe I'll let you guys know how the evening went, with all the details about me watching the movie between my fingers and screaming out of fear. Yeah, that'll surely make a great impression on her...

Point taken, although a couple of hours too late. But even if she has, I'm pretty sure that she will at least enjoy immensely seeing me suffer while I watch it. Besides, if this movie is as good as I keep hearing, watching such great movie again is always a joy. Hell, at the moment I'm watching OZ for the 3rd time from beginning to the end and I still can't get enough of all that buttfucking and those oh so devious Skinheads and Negros.

Man, don't get a horror film. If it ends up freaking you out in front of your girl then consider yourself well and truly fucked. A lot of people say horror is their favourite genre just to sound.. cool? Maybe she's not too into it at all.

The last time I had a girl round I put on Leon. She had never seen it before and I figured it had a good balance of action, drama and even a little romance. She loved it man.

True romance would be a good one too if she ain't seen it. All about love and plenty of violence, action and comedy.

I meant the debate itself, not which side she chose.  The fact that she was into discussing which was better would show how into horror films she really is, and then he might've just got points for pointing out the difference.  It was pretty much a joke, but could've worked.

Okay, the evening was a success. She hadn't seen the film before, and she liked the fact that I got a horror movie even though I'm scared of them. The movie itself was actually not even that scary... well, a lot of dead zombies and whatnot, but it was mostly a normal movie with some added horror in it. The movie was still pretty good.

I'm not gonna tell much details to you perverts, but this girl is pretty awesome...

i just watched yet another movie with a happy ending in which a person of supposedly average appearance and no social life pines away in silent anguish for a ravishingly attractive and ultra hip love muffin who they believe to be out of their league but then through some zany twist of fate the two meet and after a series of misadventures and a large crisis the apparently mediocre hero learns that beauty comes from within a push-up bra and the gorgeous one realises that the beautiful people are all sluts and schemers and that the loser they've been doing their community service with is really their one true love and they kiss and the credits roll and everyone walks out of the cinema without bothering to read the names of the key grip or ms. whoever's assistant because the only people that matter are the two stars who are in fact ken and barbie and live together in real life in a pink mansion in malibu with their dalmation called sparkles and their collection of antique toasters and have the kind of life that the rest of us will never actually have because even if we take off our prescription glasses and realise that its whats inside that counts we will still be mediocre and the objects of our desires will never want us because even though they aren't even all that girlfriend the fact is that they think they are and therefore they are not going to one day wake up and realise that they are head over heels in lust with us because we have to ask ourselves is it really love we are after or just sex and if its the latter then we might as well just go to the corner shop and buy some exfoliating gloves and save ourselves the torment of thinking about what might be with someone who will never want us and even if they did would never live up to the expectation we have created that they will complete us and suddenly our lives will be perfect and our sad will be happy and our empty will be full and our loss will be gain and we will never be lonely again which means it is love that we want after all and thats no comfort at all so i think i should either stop typing or start using punctuation...

Title: Re: The movie topic
Post by: Jerry_Curls on Dec 22, 2006, 12:21 AM
Well, he views his films as art pieces that have to be seen when they are presented...like a piece of artwork [ie: painting, photographs] and if he sells DVDs then the value of the "piece" will go lower and therefore no longer a piece of art.

Umm..I kind of confused myself but hopefully you get the idea. And it really isn't a film that is entertaining to watch. I could imagine it would be way more boring at home compared to seeing it on the big screen.

It was a good piece of art, but not something i could watch repeatedly.

yea i read something like that, which i can appreciate, but there's no real way i can see the film without going to london, it's almost as if he wants his films restricted for an elitist audience.

i went to watch it the day it came out and i thought it was quite brilliant. helen mirren was the queen. you know how some characters, when they're playing very important roles, sort of slip out of character sometimes, well, she never slipped. she was remarkable. i think her portrayal of the queen goes into my top five favourite characters of all time. she has to be given an oscar for this role.

i am somewhat infatuated with princess diana so i had to watch it.

and the editing...aah! i liked the way the quick camera motions were used in part 1&2, but this was just too friggin annoying. you could hardly see what was going on.

the first 5 minutes were excellent though. OUCH!

Oh boy.  True.  I read an article where they said it wasn't meant to go past the third, but then I did some research after reading your comment and discovered that, tada, there will be a fourth.  Not sure if that's good or not, but it'll be written by the guys who wrote Feast, so it might be a good thing.  That also explains why the original writers said no to a fourth, because they weren't invited to the party.

American Werewolf in London (an amazing, amazing film)
Ginger Snaps (interesting, quite funny/tragic)
The Company of Wolves (chin-stroker)
Underworlds I and II
Van Helsing (well there's a couple of werewolves in it)

Aside from the Howling, are there any other good ones?
Title: Re: The movie topic
Post by: Azwethinkweiz on Jan 30, 2007, 05:44 PM
you should definitely check out the movie called dog soldiers (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0280609/). great werewolf movie with a nice twist of black humor.

wolf (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0111742/) (feat. jack nicholson) is also pretty good.

and last, but not least the wolf man (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0034398/) (a must-see classic).
Title: Re: The movie topic
Post by: Drakesmoke1 on Jan 30, 2007, 07:21 PM
Yes, I forgot Dog Soldiers. I've seen it.

I don't particularly like the old 'man with lots of fur glued on his face' type films, but I'll definitely check out Jack.

It's such a shame. Werewolves are so much cooler than vampires yet directors persistently make crap films about them.
Title: Re: The movie topic
Post by: oldgentlovecraft on Jan 30, 2007, 08:01 PM
Silver Bullet
Kibakichi 1 and 2 (a samurai werewolf, more fantasy and monster movie than horror)
Bad Moon (low budget but not too bad)
The Beast Within (weird shit, hard to find, but worth it)
Wolfen


That is a subgenre you don't get to see many movies from.

(http://homepage.mac.com/martinvolder/.Pictures/wlog1/JacobsLadder.jpg)

jacob's ladder is always going to be one of my all time favourite movies, but this time around it kind of BOTHERED me. i didn't feel like moving for a long time after it ended, so i just didn't. maybe it just takes a couple times to sink in or something. it was really convincing. maybe because i already knew what the deal was, unlike the first time and i thought it was just another horror movie (albeit the single most influential horror movie of recent decades). the idea of him not knowing what the fuck was going on in any way at all ever during 95% of the story and his reactions to that were gut-wrenching. if i was a crier, i would have bawled. what a fucked up story.
Title: Re: The movie topic
Post by: oldgentlovecraft on Feb 02, 2007, 04:24 AM
What has it influenced?
Title: Re: The movie topic
Post by: Mazzy on Feb 02, 2007, 11:40 AM
it has been influential over more recent horror hits. if you watch it you'll understand. it is truly frightening, and slightly underappreciated - being from the 80's, it contains some indescribably disturbing images.
Title: Re: The movie topic
Post by: oldgentlovecraft on Feb 02, 2007, 03:00 PM
I personally own over 500 horror films and was curious to see which were influenced by Jacob's Ladder.  I've seen it and you obviously don't have any examples.
Title: Re: The movie topic
Post by: Mazzy on Feb 02, 2007, 03:21 PM
you know the visuals in the movie such as the vibrating faces, and jacob's ladder was the first to use vibrating heads as far as i know, well, i saw something almost identical to it in house on haunted hill. and some reviewers have likened the sixth sense to it although i don't really get the linkage really.

"Jacob's Ladder is the grandfather of the "rubber reality" films that became so popular throughout the 1990s and into the 2000s. The films with the most direct influence from Jacob's Ladder have appeared more recently-- Memento (2000), Mulholland Dr. (2001), The I Inside (2003), and The Butterfly Effect (2004). Less obvious, but also strongly influenced are films such as Abre los ojos (1997)/Vanilla Sky (2001), eXistenZ (1999), The Thirteenth Floor (1999) and The Matrix (1999), as well as films where the "rubber reality" is usually played more straight, such as The Sixth Sense (1999) and The Others (2001)."

i'm not the only one who obviously thinks it has had influence.

and about your personal collection of 500 horror movies...i didn't really ask [and you should really start collecting documentaries instead]. i stated that it was influential because it has been spoken about by many respected reviewers to be an influential movie in that genre. if you ask me, i wouldn't even call it horror. there's a few scary parts but not really horror.
Title: Re: The movie topic
Post by: oldgentlovecraft on Feb 02, 2007, 03:29 PM
Much better!  I hadn't heard anything about its influence and was curious.  The reason I told you about my collection was to share with you that I have an interest in horror films.  And you're right, if you want to get technical, it might be considered terror, since it's more about the unknown psychological truama than anything else.  But since fear is objective, it all depends on your point of view.  Some of the films that were influenced by it don't have an extremely strong link, but  I could see overall how they've taken their cues from the film.
Title: Re: The movie topic
Post by: Mazzy on Feb 02, 2007, 03:40 PM
dude, come over my house right now. how awkward to watch a movie with people like you. it's like, "omg, am i saying the right thing about what i think this scene is about? omg". see, i don't know a lot about movies, except australian movies - i dare you to shut me up, but i know a lot about documentaries. too much. so much that people never want to watch one with me because i get so excited because then i have an 'audience' and it's not just me.

i was half way through abre los ojos actually then my dad came in and said, "oh no, stop with these movies about disfigured people!" that was sort of que to turn it off.

offer still stands. i live in sydney and the air conditioner is on and i have boxers on. how can you resist that!!
Title: Re: The movie topic
Post by: oldgentlovecraft on Feb 02, 2007, 03:47 PM
I'm actually not that bad, promise.  I think they beat it into me in college.  I love dark movies, mostly horror, but I don't limit myself.  When I watch a movie all those annoying analytical comments stay in my brain unless someone wants to discuss a movie.  It seems we're alike in the way that people won't watch horror films with me because I already have done research or have prior knowledge about everything I watch.  Haven't watched many documentaries though...

i just watched the hours.

i had moderate expectations. i figured NINE academy award nominations + meryl streep and julianne moore + disfigured nicole kidman = at the very least passable. and in a way i was right, it was just passable. it got across the line by 'a bee's dick' as we used to say in the public service (probably when preparing litigious statistical data).

i have two main problems:

(1) the nose was not enough. nicole kidman was just fucking crap in it. she could have been wearing a prosthetic head and i could still tell that she was hamming it up. watch it again, she's a piece of lumber.

(2) the ending. jesus. i mean, this is where it all comes together or where it all falls apart. it did the latter. you've got the two A-list actors, they're obviously destined to have this confrontation and then when it happens, on this beautiful set...well nothing happens. to my mind, it should have been something like this:

(http://farm1.static.flickr.com/159/377911609_7c5bc76903_o.jpg)

but ended up being just the crappy end of the movie.

on the plus side, toni collete was in it.

I saw 9 Songs last night, and it wasn't good at all. I think pornos have a better storyline than this. It felt as if the writer wanted to be groundbreaking and half the time just wanted to say "Hey! These people are actually having sex!" All this movie had was a concert scene then a sex scene, then the writer decides to have these people have somewhat of a meaningful relationship halfway through the film, which is a bad idea when you have already seen ten sex scenes in twenty minutes. It's hard to think of these people as a couple and feel for them when we never get a chance to know them.

I didn't like that movie much. it had its moments where it was really funny and the acting was good, but it tried too hard to be cute and a "feel-good flick".

The Covenant (Pretty bad, but entertaining nonetheless) - 5.5/10
Title: Re: The movie topic
Post by: black coffee on Feb 20, 2007, 04:38 PM
still have to watch Tenacious D

Smokin Aces was really weird. they tried too hard to have this Oceans Eleven-feeling, but  this movie is NOTHING compared to Oceans Eleven. There are some cool actors, though.

Harold And Kumar Go To White Castle was rather bad. another lame Stoner movie. my friends liked this movie and I still don't get it.

Apocalypto is quite impressive. very brutal, even though at times it suffers from the lame story. it's all good since the action dominates. and there is lots of it.

Hannibal Rising, at last is the best of the aforementioned movies. the story is quite predictable, you know he's simply going to kill the guilty ones. but Gaspard Ulliel plays Hannibal so good, and thereby contributes to the great atmosphere of a great movie.

crime stories can be great (as long as it gets a hold of the viewer from the get-go).

i can't wait to see zodiac.

i'm definitely a fincher fan and i did like panic room, but i think it's his weakest movie (yes, i liked alien 3).

seven and fight club are his masterpieces.

Daniel Craig is like Christian Bale in the sense you have to see him in action in order to see how sexy the guy really is. I would have never fallen for Craig if I just saw the trailers.

In my opinion it's the best Bond movie. Just letting you know if you see others.

300 was not as great as i had thought it would be.

the fightscenes got kind of repedetive and they used too much slowmotion (a little slowmotion can be cool, but not ALL the time).

nice entertainment, nothing more really.

Agreed.

On to other films, though I saw I Think I Love My Wife, which is a good movie if there is nothing else to see, but you want to see something anyway.

I also saw Fast Food Nation. I read the book and found it interesting how they tied in the facts with different storylines, but the ending killed me. I wasn't expecting to see so much.

The Exorcist.. Man, I watched it for the first time when I was 11 years old and couldn't sleep for days and after watching it this song, ''Can't Get You Out Of My Head'', by Kylie Minouge was played on the radio and eveytime I hear it now I get all bleak and really nervous, haha. But now, 6 years later, after watching it again sometimes, it's nt scary at all, actually it's just fucking funny to watch, and the movie in itself is a classic

I saw Swimming. A very different role than what I'm used to from Lauren Ambrose, but she did make the movie.

I also saw Children of Men which was excellent. Clive always does a good job and manages to look sexy at the same time. I loved Michael Caine's character, too. I wouldn't expect that kind of role from him.

I managed to see most of Mystic Pizza. Horrible chick flick, but I enjoyed the moments when Vincent D'Onofrio popped on the screen.

syriana- great film. i mainly loved it becuase i just finished a class on the geography of global change, and this film deals directly with what we have studied.

in the bedroom- awesome. great acting. emotional story. superb.

dead man- hmmm.... johnny depp was good per usual. but the film was, as with any jarmusch film, slow as fuck, and makes no sense at all. perhaps it needs to be watched more than once. once was enough for me though.

an hour long bbc documentary on the phelps family. the "god hates fags" people.

Saw Spiderman 3 a few days back. Big budget american films are usually weak and hauntingly boring, so I had a feeling this was not going to be a movie for me. And boy was I right !

I laughed so hard when Spiderman jumped on top of a building, the hero-ish musical theme starts and a big ass American flag lights up behind him. It can't get more cliché. Does Americans never get fed up by themselves?

I watched Hostel for the first time last night. My brother has had it on DVD for a while so I threw it on while everyone else was in bed. Not as all out grotesque as I was expecting. Don't get me wrong, pretty sick in places.. But it showed me once again how overreacting audiences and stupid hype take the edge off of certain films and make you believe they're gonna be so much worse on the stomach.

I cannot imagine anything worse than falling unconscious and waking up on that fucking chair though. I would have passed out from fear way before that cunt had even begun to slice me up.

(http://www.digitallyobsessed.com/cover_art2/diarycountrypriest.jpg)(http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/e/e4/Winterlightcriterion.jpg/200px-Winterlightcriterion.jpg)

i seem to have forgotten exactly what i was going to say about these two stories and the main characters. they're not really alike at all apart from being priests with problems but they both seem to be more or less ill-suited to the life they chose.

in diary of a country priest, he is too senstitive. he only accomplished good with one person in the entire town and even that was under very negative circumstances. and what caused good to happen was his humanity, rather than his ability to be a good priest. not to mention how his physical sickness made it nearly impossible for him to carry out all his duties.

in winter light, the pastor [he's actually a lutheran pastor, not a catholic priest, but that's neither here nor there. they all look the same anyhow] is totally consumed by his own self. his lusts and his memories, his anger. he becomes dead and lifeless. completely the opposite of the other movie. instead of being open and human to the point of total vulnerability, he's shut off completely from the church members. he is equally useless at his post. actually, moreso because a church member actually feels the pastor validated his wish to kill himsef when talking to him. the only good thing to be said regarding religion is said by the cripple who hangs around the church. but even at the end of the film, where i assume he's had an epiphany about faith [that is up for debate as the film is WAY open-ended] he still seems stiff and unpassionate.

they both find encouragement through people most wouldn't expect to have anything useful to say. i think what i'm saying is that i'm afraid to end up like one of these characters. i love them and relate to them on certain levels now, which isn't exactly a good thing, but i digress. they're just not suited to their lives, therefore, doing no good in them. if they leave any mark on the world at all, it's not a good mark.

Everything was just top notch. It never felt too long and kept me guessing along the way. Incredible performances and the mood of the movie was just great.

Also, the murder with the knife is probably one of the most disturbing scenes i've seen. So realistic and gritty.

David Fincher is probably my favorite modern director (along with Christopher Nolan).

Something about Clive Owen that pisses me off. From what I've seen he just likes to play.. Clive Owen. I let that shit slide with people like Denzel because they have bucketloads of charisma, but Owen is just a plank of wood. I like him, but he annoys me.


Just watched Silent Hill. Beautifully shot, if somewhat confusing. It really did look the part though.

i love clive owen. he's just one sexy hunk of a man. that aside, i really enjoy his movies. the thing with denzel washington is that all his roles are the same and i can see clive owen falling into that trap as well but i hope he doesn't. he has the versatility to do more. i want him to get back into british cinema. why hide that accent with an american one? it makes no bloody sense. actually, to crack the american market but still. it's blasphemy.

Everything was just top notch. It never felt too long and kept me guessing along the way. Incredible performances and the mood of the movie was just great.

Lately i've watched Blood Diamond & Stranger Than Fiction.

Both were excellent!
Title: Re: The movie topic
Post by: Paint Your Lips on Jun 07, 2007, 05:49 PM
Blood Diamond's weakest factor is the love story. It could have been a great movie if they had just left it out.

(spoiler)
And what were they thinking when they wrote the scene where Leonardo dies?


Saw Children of Men the other day. A great movie, but the story line was kind of ... Missing, at times. All in all a cool movie, though. There's a scene that is just one take, no cutting or anything, it's like 15 minutes long and is just amazingly done.
Title: Re: The movie topic
Post by: ToneDef on Jun 08, 2007, 08:56 AM
I was cool with the love story in Blood Diamond because it wasn't traditional in the sense that they get together and fuck. The spark was there and a chunk of chemistry but they never actually got around to tearing each others clothes off and all out fucking. It blended well with the film I guess.

Great movie though.

Dude, atleast admit the death scene is a joke?

Saw Stranger than Fiction last night with a friend, at the end of the movie we were both at the edge of our seats, nearly holding our breath, just dying the see how it ended. What an awesome movie. I recommend it to everyone.

I'm just getting tired of hollywood and their always present love stories. The subject of the movie is really good. And I was looking forward to learning and experience it on the screeen, but instead of focusing on the subject, they decided to throw in a pointless love story in the midst of an already perfectly good story. That's why his death bothers me, that he dies while talking to her over the phone, it's just too corny. That scene did nothing for me, except make me shake my head with a grin.

Glad we agree on Stranger Than Fiction, though. Even the first shot in that movie is brilliant. You know, where he's brushing his teeth and the camera is "inside his mouth looking out".

trust me on this. donnie darko wasn't that great. this movie, however, is exceptional. just pure magic. it's not so full of things like overlapping storylines where you get confused and have to concentrate more than you should. i watched donnie darko so many times and although it was good, it's nothing like this. this movie doesn't depend on anything so huge scaled to be amazing. it really got to me, especially the ending. great ending.

Saw 28 weeks later the other night. Very good film. The action in it and scare factor were both used amazingly so in that sense it was really well directed and it didn't drag.

However, the only thing that got to me were the small number of co-incidences that happened in order to allow the film to be good, like when the virus spreads again... I thought it was a bit much that even happened...

but that would make a boring movie lol. However, you see my point!

If you loved the first 3 die hard movies, you'll love this one.

and of course some of the scenes are somewhat unrealistic. it's an action movie.

i haven't seen 'silver surfer' yet, but the first 'f4' sucked. the effects in this one looks pretty cool though. i'll wait for the dvd release.

Saw Die Hard 4 too... Very good movie... It's some basic Die Hard and Super John Mc Lane, but that's what's great actually.
A little bit too much sometimes, but it definitely worthes a watch... I recommend it !

i haven't seen 'silver surfer' yet, but the first 'f4' sucked. the effects in this one looks pretty cool though. i'll wait for the dvd release.
Download it, don't waste money on that shit.

F4 looked really dumb in the previews..Silver Surfer didn't look cool or anything.  I still haven't seen the last F4 because it looked so stupid.  I'm guessing this one is the same as the last.


Live Free or Die Hard was a pretty damn good movie.  I just got through watching it on my computer.

Post by: ChickdelaLynch on Jul 11, 2007, 07:55 PM
Primal Fear was great. It wouldn't have been if Edward Norton was not in it. He pretty much stole the show. God, he needs to be in more movies.

The Godfather Part II was great, too. I'm rather nervous seeing part III. I don't want to see it, but I think I should just to finish off the series.

License To Wed was your typical stupid romance comedy that turned out to be ok just because I was in the mood to see a stupid film.
Title: Re: The movie topic
Post by: ToneDef on Jul 12, 2007, 09:20 AM
You only just saw Primal Fear? Shit. I remember that blowing me away when I was kid and wasn't really into proper films and shit, you know? That movie pretty much launched Nortons career. The part at the end where he gives it away is just "..fuck" .

I personally like Godfather Part 3. It's not how you imagine it'll be so view it with an open mind. Also, ignore Sofia Copolla in it.. It's a well known fact that she's possibly the worst part of the movie. She'd probably even agree with that. Check the scene with the helicopter.. Fantastic.

realistic and unrelenting horror!

So I saw Sex, Lies and Videotape which was really good. Not as raunchy as I thought it would be, but I think it would have really sucked if it was raunchy. Spader is always good, but I didn't find him so creepy in this film, but rather a guy I'd go for.

I also saw Pan's Labrynth which had a tendency to freak me out from time to time, but was otherwise great. Oh, and the Captain is a huge asshole.

Watched "A Scanner Darkly" last night (just came out for rental here).

Really quite amazing use of animation merged with film imo and it's a pity we don't see more Robert Downey Jr in films anymore, bit of a Sean Penn in that regard.Philip K. Dick does some pretty way out writing in it too although I still greatly prefer Blade Runner, for obvious reasons.

Smoke a bowl and watch this flick.

Uhuh, is a crazy film but great. A headfuck though.

I'm still waiting for the new cut of Blade Runner to be released. I got the 'Directors Cut' ages ago and I wanna watch it again, but I'm gonna hold out until the new edition and kain that fucker on my new plasma.. Oh yeahhhhh...

Beerfest - A lot of hype from my friends but just didn't live up to it.  Had some hilarious parts though and all I wanted to do after was go drink a beer, which is what I did.

Fido - Funny zombie comedy that reminded me of a live action Stubbs the Zombie.  Recommended if you're into zombie films, know we have a few fans on here somewhere.         
           Randomly funny as hell and extremely amusing.

The Invasion - Builds to feverish intensity  all the way to the end.  I'm a huge fan of movies like this, all of the Invasion of the Body Snatchers movies and The Puppet                         
                           Masters.  Full of paranoia.  I always dread horror/suspense films that have huge budgets because more often than not they disappoint, but I was impressed         
                           with this.  Nicole Kidman, definitely gorgeous and and hell of an actress.

Knocked Up - 5/5

can't wait for "Into the Wild"

such a great book, and i'm anxious to see how Sean Penn directs it.

Emile Hirsch looks exactly like Chris McCandless in parts of the movie.

Superbad (5/5)

Absolutely awesome and hilarious. I loved literally every second.

Superbad + Knocked Up = Two best comedies of the last 10 years or so.

Saw 3:10 to Yuma last friday, I'd give it about a 7/10.  Bale is the man, the soundtrack was very good, and Crowe kept your interests in the movie going the whole way through with his performance.

I'll be seeing Shoot 'em Up this weekend and possibly The Brave One.

Eastern Promises was really good.  I personally liked it more than A History of Violence. 

A really great performance by Viggo Mortensen that I hope doesn't get overlooked this year.

Title: Re: The movie topic
Post by: defskull on Sep 25, 2007, 08:48 PM
You know, after watching the movie I got to thinking that.

Tarantino or Rodriguez can show some gruesome stuff like decapitations or objects get shot into eyeballs and I don't wince at all.

But damn you Cronenberg.  He really knows how to make something you've seen a million times in movies look pretty real and gruesome. 

If you liked A History of Violence, I have to recommend this.  Vincent Cassel does an amazing job as well in it.

Title: Re: The movie topic
Post by: theis on Sep 28, 2007, 10:58 PM
I just saw Eastern Promises.

It was a really good movie, but I am disapointed.

Viggo Mortensen and Vincent Cassel were both amazing in their roles. Top notch acting right there.
Viggo could definitely run off with an oscar for his performance.
The violence was brutal and realistic and it made me cringe.

However, the story lacked something.
First off, the movie was too short. It should have lasted about 20 min longer (2 hours would've been suitable).
The ending felt rushed.
I didn't really like the "twist" either. It wasn't nessecary.

Also, too much humor. I was expecting a darker movie.

Overall, a really solid movie that should have lasted longer.

I still have faith in Cronenberg.

7/10

Just watched the new Resident Evil, best of the three I think.  More of the game elements added to it and a bit more violent.  Still too hollywood and think they could've done a hell of a lot better with the all three, but I was surprised with this one.

great gangster film. almost the best, but i am partial to goodfellas.

check it out. just don't watch the US release. it is 90 minutes shorter and is shown in chronological order, whereas the original (international) release is three hours and fifty minutes and is shown with numerous elaborate flashbacks.

Yeah, he said he was inspired by Japanese monster toys his kids were playing with, but the story is odd from the pieces I've found.  That's to say if those are even true.  It looks awesome still and I've been a Godzilla fan for a long time so an updated American version better than the last will be sweet.  Giant monster movies rule.

Unfortunately that trailer just made me want to watch that movie.  A lot more Joker than Batman in the trailer though.  But I am already going say that Ledger deserves a damn oscar nom for his portrayal.  I'm so used to him being subdued with an American accent similar to a Southern accent, but you can't even tell it's him really.


Summer 2008 needs to come sooner.


But yeah the "vampires" were bad looking in I Am Legend.

Unfortunately that trailer just made me want to watch that movie.  A lot more Joker than Batman in the trailer though.  But I am already going say that Ledger deserves a damn oscar nom for his portrayal.  I'm so used to him being subdued with an American accent similar to a Southern accent, but you can't even tell it's him really.


Summer 2008 needs to come sooner.


But yeah the "vampires" were bad looking in I Am Legend. 

The book wasn't so hopeful either.  The "I Am Legend" bit is because the survivor was feared by the vampires because of his immunity, the reverse of what originally happened where humans were afraid of the infected.  Also the vamps were intelligent and evolved to where they could survive in the daytime, and the protagonist systematically slayed them during the day and hid at night, when they would come to his house and call his name and taunt him.  That's why it was a bit of a disappointment.  And they could've done a whole hell of a lot better with the creatures for sure.

Saw I Am Legend, wasn't too bad but didn't have the feel of the book or even the earlier versions.  Will Smith did better than  I thought he would .  CGI was embarrassing though.

damn, it looked like a video game. a shitty one at that. they should have used real elements. smith gave a hell of a performance, though. i wont buy it when it comes out on dvd, but a had a good time at the movies.

I really liked that movie.


Two really good movies I saw recently:

Sweeney Todd and Juno.

I was very impressed with both.  And those who don't like musicals, I still recommend Sweeney Todd.  It takes a song or two to get used to, but it's worth it.

zodiac is amazing though. a flawless period piece that really manages to grab a hold of the viewer without using tons of special effects.

chilling and effective...the best movie of 2007.

i liked Zodiak, but the book(s) are way better. Robert Graysmith's "Zodiak" goes so much further in depth as to all the suspects, and "Zodiak Unmasked" takes it a step further and shows you just how close they were to catching the killer. The movie was still good, but it would have had to be at least twice as long to really tell what Graysmith does in his books.

fincher's original vision of the movie was 3hours+ long. the studio wouldn't go with it, so he had to trim it down.

i still think the movie manages to go into great detail about practically everything.

If you have stoner friends you'll notice they tend to have a clearer understanding in some area than others, for instance...

We were talking about Shoot 'Em Up. I said it was a cool movie, and he replied, did you get it? Get what? That's is Bugs Bunny and Elmer Fudd... Paul G. being Fudd and Clive Owen bugs bunny, hence the carrots... That blew my mind, makes total sense, I now need to watch it again.

That concept art is incorrect; it's for something else but can't remember what.  And it's not Godzilla, Abrams already said he wanted an original monster and I've read a few reviews from early screenings and they said it was different and a bit hard to explain.  That old hype's been wore out along with Cthulhu (sadly my man Lovecraft can't catch a break) and (thankfully not) Voltron.

Watched about 10 minutes of Good Luck Chuck last night. Turned it off. Fucking stupid shit. His fat friend who is a sick pervert should die... Well, his character at least. I hate those types of people. God damn Alba is perfection.

I saw some movie today about a bunch of emos in a mental hospital with Don Chedale as their counsler. I was losing interest in it but i was high so just left it on and next thing I know "HeadUp" came on and they started kicking walls and breaking shit.

I dont think Ive ever heard a deftones song (besides Change) on a movie. They played the whole duration of the song too. Think it was called  "maniac".
It was a trip.

i think the movie is called Manic. was it any good?

it was alright man.
"same ol ..same ol" type story.... shit, even the scene with Headup was pretty lame.......
but it was cool cause i didnt expect any movie to ever play the whole song  (any deftones song for that matter) in its entirety during a sequence.


edit:  and yea, it is "Manic".

When I partied with the Tones after 2006 London show, Abe and some roadies were repeating that "Durka Durka" thing all the time... That was so funny.
Plus they had "acces cards" (the backstages passes, or whatever the name is in english) with pictures from Team America movie... Really really funny !

well, i think the two terms are interchangeable.
"movie" was probably a slang term from back in the day for "moving pictures",just like how the first films with spoken dialog were called "talkies"
film does sound classier, right?  ;)

btw there is also "flick" to consider. And my mom still calls them "the picture shows"  :)

Last night I watched Good Luck Chuck, which I thought was good. I laughed pretty consistently throughout the movie which is all that matters int hat case.

And I also watched Rendition, which I liked but was also slightly confused by. It just sort of went around in a circle, then ended and left me feeling like I had to watch it again to see if there's something I missed. It was good overall though.

Halloween (Rob Zombie's remake) - This movie was terrible.  In my opinion it makes the original look like a timeless and perfect piece of art, in general.  There was no suspense, the parts meant to be "shocking" weren't anything I haven't seen before, and it was so damn predictable it was getting ridiculous.  I was watching it with a friend, and I sware, I made like 4 or 5 predictions to an upcoming scene and it came true.  It was so boring and stale to me that I only watched the first 45 minutes or so, got up, walked into my computer room and got online instead.

The Darjeeling Limited - I'd been waiting for this to come out for a while since for some odd reason it wasn't played at either of the 2 multiplexes we have in town.  Anyway, if you want to know what the plot's about, go to Amazon, I just wanna give a quick opinion.  I actually enjoyed it, I may have had my hopes a little too high for how good it was going to be, but I liked it enough that I burned myself a copy ;)

What I'll be watching soon: George Carlin's newest HBO special titled "It's Bad for Ya," which aired yesterday and the rip was released today, so I now have a copy.  Can't wait to watch it after a lil while here, been a fan of Carlin's work for a while.

So I was watching Edward Scissor hands for the first  time in like 12 years or however long but I realized that my favorite character in it is the dad of Wynona. Hes funny as hell. Hes like a real dad, not a movie dad.

But that movie is kinda weird. I don't know how it makes me feel. Can't put my finger on it.

fucking awesome movie... i really liked it

indeed an awesome movie.

the scene in the bathroom is one of the most intense scenes ever.


dude your right. that part was fucking nuts.


also when the sniper keeps shooting those 2 guys and the troops cant do anything about it

stanley kubrick is the greatest no doubt.
all of his movies are so precise and involved.

It was actually pretty damn close to the story and I think that made it so much better.  A lot of his other movies tend to stray from the source material even when King had a hand in writing the screenplay.  The Mist was the closest I have seen.
Title: Re: The movie topic
Post by: theis on Mar 27, 2008, 09:46 AM
the ending of the mist was so devastating...almost too much for me... and it takes a lot to get me riled up.

some dodgy CGI here and there, but nothing looked downright terrible.

really great flick and some of the best horror in yeeeeeears.

SPOILER BELOW:















i literally yelled out "YES!!!" when marcia gay harden's character got shot. that was a fantastic moment.

well put... the whole daddy yells at mommy and sometime pushes her around thing is sappy and worn out... it would have been a little more heroic if he were to protect his sister from it or at the least write to her. what he did was actually very selfish, especially to put his mother and father through pain like that... they never beat "him" up ???
his moment of lucidity was forgiveness and i dont think you need to be at your moment of death to achieve this-for you wont have to live with it. forgive and live in love-instead he took the coward way out and caused severe pain to the people who lovingly reared him with exceptional opportunities. and like lithium says, there is always a way across! ridiculous to give up so soon. it was nice and warm-he could hunt up/down the river for days if he had to-in search of a route. use a map and figure that rivers get smaller the further you go north(except the nile). also he sold out alot-with getting jobs and such-but i guess thats part of "the journey and trial"

The guy did what very few people have the balls to do which is figure out who he was and what made him happy. Not everyone is programmed to grind existence out 9-5, retire and then be bitter because life passed them by.

After reading many of the comments on IMDB it strikes me that there is this sneering western arrogance about life and how much of a fool you'd have to be to even try this. Not everyone's idea of heaven is a McMansion and a partnership at a law firm.

By attempting discovery through exile you are pursuing the highest calling there is - know thyself. Discovering this inner gnosis goes beyond family, society and all other self imposed systems that man has created for himself.

By focusing on whether he had a map or not really misses the entire sentiment of the movie. Sure, the guy made some mistakes and payed for it but he lived more in that year than most 9-5ers ever will.

Rather than glamorising stupidity I think it shows what much of current modern living has become - hollow, narrow minded, and self-serving. This kind of existence is way more selfish and stupid IMHO.

the thing is man i completely agree with you! im def not one of the 9-5 ers and never will be... ive hopped trains before and i would do it again. i honestly believe his intentions and ideas were good but just not "good enough". i dont mean to bash him. but you see i lost my brother 4 years ago- he was murdered in new orleans, and then my father died after hurricane katrina from cancer-cause he couldnt recieve any services. and now its just me and my mom... i dont live with her, but i dont live far-the thing ive realized is that i have an incredible responsibility with her, and we grieve together. ive been wanting for a long time to just leave and get the fuck out-no questions asked, but i know my mom cannot grieve for another. we are all each other have. i dont mean to sound sappy myself or whatever- but i can honestly say i have achieved forgiveness (especially to the man who killed my brother!) in other ways, rather than hiding out or running away. ive nearly stagnated for four years facing some harsh shit... i guess thats why the whole "my parents have problems and it effects me sooo much" thing is just worn to me. i dont mean to boast or ramble, and i definitly know what the movie/his life was about, im just being critical of some of his judgements. but i def do agree with you azwe, and if there is one thing i  will never be-that is a suckfish to the system-and the static existence so many obide by.

i saw the point of the movie, dropping it all, living off the land, being alone and being a ghost.

everyday now is a struggle too man. it's very romantic to say you can live without money, work or all that bullshit that he hated.
but you cant, not in a working society. go to school get a job and make money.

this movie isnt garbage, it's just not for me.

Anyone with any kind of outdoor/survival training pretty much thinks this guy is a fucktard (including me). Yes, living off the land and not answering to "the man" is a romantic notion but he went about it all wrong. anyone attempting to do this (yes, there are people in alaska who live like he wanted to) has to realize that living this type of life you need to have a plan and proper training. to do what he did and just throw him self into it was incredibly stupid and should not be glamourized as idealistic and freeing. living off the land in the wild is one of the toughest things anyone can do. yes, we all want to throw off the shackles and live free, but what this guy did was beyond stupid. Yes he might have lived more in that one year than most people ever will. just dont forget that the way he went about it is pretty much how not to do it. its one thing to take a risk, its another to take a risk with no plan.

I'm not saying this to be an asshole or anything so please don't take it that way...

But did your Daddy ever yell at your Mommy or better yet, beat the living shit out of her when you were a child???

Please, don't think of it as "sappy" and "worn out". It happens everyday to more people than you care to imagine. Like I said, I'm not attacking you but that's the way it is. I've been through it. I can remember waking up hearing my mother screaming while she was getting bones broken by my alcoholic step-father. I remember the cops showing up...I remember it all. To someone that happens to, it's not sappy or worn out. I'm not saying anyone who hasn't been through it, should just "know" what I mean, but it's damaging. I have a problem watching any sort of extreme violence because of it.

In my opinion, this movie had very little to do with that but much more to do with what life is really all about, and that's being happy. Happiness to me is a state of mind. It's not easy to obtain and it's not easy to maintain. The most significant part of this movie is when he sets his cash on fire. He had quite a good amount saved and he let it all go. Can anyone here say they'd be comfortable doing that? I doubt it. I know I wouldn't. There's a lot I could say about this flick, but I'm so tired I don't want to start that now. The main thing is that there's so much in the world that completes the human spirit, more than money or material things ever will. It's hard for most people to recognize because for the most part, no one lives their life without factoring in money. People aren't grateful for things for long and that's just the way it is. I didn't love everything about this movie but I see it for what it was and I think it's phenomenal. I'd put it in the category of one of the best movies ever made for just that reason. This is just my opinion. it was life changing for me.

Please, don't think of it as "sappy" and "worn out". It happens everyday to more people than you care to imagine. Like I said, I'm not attacking you but that's the way it is. I've been through it. I can remember waking up hearing my mother screaming while she was getting bones broken by my alcoholic step-father. I remember the cops showing up...I remember it all. To someone that happens to, it's not sappy or worn out. I'm not saying anyone who hasn't been through it, should just "know" what I mean, but it's damaging. I have a problem watching any sort of extreme violence because of it.

In my opinion, this movie had very little to do with that but much more to do with what life is really all about, and that's being happy. Happiness to me is a state of mind. It's not easy to obtain and it's not easy to maintain. The most significant part of this movie is when he sets his cash on fire. He had quite a good amount saved and he let it all go. Can anyone here say they'd be comfortable doing that? I doubt it. I know I wouldn't. There's a lot I could say about this flick, but I'm so tired I don't want to start that now. The main thing is that there's so much in the world that completes the human spirit, more than money or material things ever will. It's hard for most people to recognize because for the most part, no one lives their life without factoring in money. People aren't grateful for things for long and that's just the way it is. I didn't love everything about this movie but I see it for what it was and I think it's phenomenal. I'd put it in the category of one of the best movies ever made for just that reason. This is just my opinion. it was life changing for me.
so, i ask, would you have abandoned your mother to face it -(all of the abuse) alone? -leaving indefinitely  (both her, and if you have?/ OR could imagine having a fellow sibling) behind, AND not write to her a single solitary letter of your well-being and or whereabouts? -causing her insurmountable grief in the process?

if you answer NO to any of these three questions you "completely" missed the point of my post.

this man, OR (lack there of), -in the movie is 100% COWARD.

i am not attacking your personal misfortunes.

bless you and all.

I just watched "Paranoid Park" by Gus Vant Sant and "The Darjeeling Limited" by Wes Anderson. The first is a simple plot but its told genually by Van Sant. The second made my laugh a lot, a funny story about 3 brothers. Also the short movie at the beginning of it is great, Natallie Portman looks incredibly hot on it.

Well I couldn't have left because I was only 6 yrs old or so at the time.

I see what you're saying but how can he be a coward doing what he did? I see how you're calling him cowardly for leaving but I think him leaving, and doing all that he did on his own as being brave. I mean the whole family went through years of their own personal suffering. His Mother is an adult and shouldn't have put up with that shit to begin with and his father is the coward for doing what he did. There are certain points in everyone's life where you have to work on yourself. I often put other's before myself and will continue to do so. But occasionally I have to put myself first, and that's not being selfish, that's keeping your own sanity. If no one did that, everyone would be severely depressed and damaged.

I'm not a parent yet, but will be someday and I think that any "good" parent does what they can for the sake of their children. Yeah his parents paid for his college and wanted to buy him a new car...so what? They weren't all that supportive emotionally and eventually I think he got to a point where after being a good student and child he figured, "if you can't do it for me, I can't do this for you anymore". He was miserable and so was his sister as far as family life was concerned.

It's a 2 way street. He got out of it and tried to do something for himself instead of trying to please his parents (which seemed impossible) and become a slave to materialism which makes no one happy.

That's what I gathered from the situation. People can only take responsibility for themselves and most people aren't very good at it. His mother could have left her husband, but she didn't. That was her decision as an adult, a wife and a mother.

I wasn't thrilled that he never wrote them or called occasionally, that was shitty. Other than that, I think what he did was pretty amazing.

"Well I couldn't have left because I was only 6 yrs old or so at the time."

1) I see what you're saying but how can he be a coward doing what he did?

2) I see how you're calling him cowardly for leaving but I think him leaving, and doing all that he did on his own as being brave.

3) His mother could have left her husband, but she didn't. That was her decision as an adult, a wife and a mother.

4) I wasn't thrilled that he never wrote them or called occasionally, that was shitty. Other than that, I think what he did was pretty amazing.
I broke this down;

1) "I see what you're saying but how can he be a coward doing what he did?"

He is a coward because he ran away. he took the ultimate escape of exclusion and exile (similar to drugging your woes away). he did NOT confront the issues and warrants at hand but rather about -face turned and left complete unresolve and misfortune in the wake of his "dissapearance". this leads me to my next point...

2) "I see how you're calling him cowardly for leaving but I think him leaving, and doing all that he did on his own as being brave."

BRAVERY, = is NOT a "self-serving" phenomenon. bravery is risking your shit "saving" or "liberating" etc etc. another from the tribulations which lay "ahead". The idea of this guy even being minutely brave is staggering to my conscience. thats just the thing which brings me back to my previous point. Him, "being brave" -as opposed (yes bravery MUST be defined by conquering oppostition of some kind) -as opposed by "the gigantic forces of an indifferent and unyeilding nature/wilderness"... OR even the social injustices of "material obsessions" and other "domestic malfeasances" - is again, ONLY BRAVE IN A "SELF-SERVING" WAY. which, as i have said before is NOT brave at all.... reverting then to only one thing "SELFISH" and/or  "COWARDICE".

3) "His mother could have left her husband, but she didn't. That was her decision as an adult, a wife and a mother."

I think you answer this one yourself by your own words.

4) "I wasn't thrilled that he never wrote them or called occasionally, that was shitty. Other than that, I think what he did was pretty amazing."

Again, what exactly did he do...?? he changed NOTHING, therefore as i see it, -all he ever fulfilled OR "conquered" in his "conquest" was "self-serving". the only true response and effect he left in the wake  of his "self"-trial and journey out of external social injustices, was indeed "grief". - notably UNTO "others"!! -seeing it this way, he is far from "heroic" or "brave" he is "shameful" and "cowardly".




hopefully my wordly accomodations will shine new light on this topic.

bless you all.
Title: Re: The movie topic
Post by: Shaye on Apr 19, 2008, 03:40 AM
His Mother not choosing to leave was her own decision upon herself, but all that accomplished was selfishness. Her actions affected everyone around her negatively, especially her children. Same thing with the Father.

I do see your point, but these items weren't necessarily what I used to judge the main character. Let's take the family situation out of the picture. Chris ( I believe was his name or "Alexander Supertramp"), on his own did something that I think has escaped most human beings for  centuries. He found his own happiness by being in Nature. This is something that most humans separate themselves from or think they are "above".

I just think something could be learned from that aspect of the movie. Everyone's situations are different but to learn to go back to what we all come from and maybe search out your purpose on this Earth, without money, material things, and all the drama that comes with other human relationships (all of which are mostly unnecessary, is an accomplishment to me.

Agree to disagree I guess.
Title: Re: The movie topic
Post by: wither-I on Apr 19, 2008, 04:02 AM
the last thing i will say on this matter;

is this.... he sought to conquer the wilderness/ nature before he learned to conquer himself. this figuring as i have stated before, "his moment of "lucidity" (his being solitude in forgiveness) was only achieved at his moment of death. the moment when he is assured he will never have to "live" with his woes and worries in "life". Spiritual persons (monks and what have you...) living across the globe achieve "lucidity" (among many aspects, beyond forgiveness of others [accomplices to their strife]) in life DAILY. and most notably without dying in the process or creating further suffering. they forgive those who have done them wrong and their people and "live" WITH it. [TRUE HEROISM] need i remmind anyone that these people "endure" profoundly greater misfortunes and straight up tragedy than US (yes me too) here in America (candyland). these people are experiencing excessive and incessant torture, war, poverty, starvation, genocide and other travesties inherent to any given region. and they fucking soldier on and create not only substantial but TRUE PEACE "within".

and that is what i mean behind the whole "daddy beats mom up" thing being sappy and worn out.

again not directed at you. i think your wonderful and full of good passion and intent.

bless us all. peace.

If there's people that connect with this movie, that's awesome.  That's your thing. But there's people like me who had a good upbringing and the farthest my dad ever got to hitting my mom was throwing a recliner in her general direction.  They're split up now, but my dad is still in my life and I'm grateful for that.  Anyway, I watched this movie (Into The Wild) and it just couldn't keep my attention.  I did like the ending though, very touching.

Yeah it's Ironic,but goddamn,showing him kill his son?!? Yeah I get the whole "not wanting him to suffer" shit,but me being a parent,I could never ever kill my child. I would rather hold my child as tight as I could and us both die together over seeing my child look at me and knowing the last thing they saw was me pointing a gun to their head. Fuck That.

but yeah dont ever. ever watch the reno 911 movie.. unless you need to take a nap. cause i must admit. it did get me nice and sleepy and cozy.. maybe thats what the movie was meant for.. not humor and laughs. but to help people get rest who have trouble sleeping.. thank you reno 911 the movie. i was wrong about you.thank you for helping millions of people get much needed sleep and rest

I decided to share some worth-seeing movies with you. (various, older, newer..)

The Diving Bell and the Butterfly - French movie. Quite depressing, 'heavy' and in some way disturbing. About how a person feels when he's paralyzed completely.

Tracey Fragments - very odd movie, all very textural and complex. There is only few scenes where there movie is filmed with one camera only, whole movie is multi-track, if I may call it so.

The Fantastic Planet - animated old movie. Sci-fi, loved it while being high.

Persepolis - an animated story about Iranian girl going through life. A bit comedy.

Candy - 'Requiem for a Dream'ish movie, Heath Ledger doing drugs.. heavy and beautiful.

Half Nelson - my favourite movie ever, again, drug abuse, great soundtrack (Broken Social Scene).

The Nines - interesting movie about something.. look the nines. (if I would say what, I'd spoil the fun)

United States of Leland - a very nice drama about juvenile crime.

Chaos Theory - chich flick. Still a good Drama/Romance/Comedy

Into the Wild - a movie about a guy leaving all his family, friends, and travelling to live alone in Alaska. My recommendations!

The Rules of Attraction - interestingly shaped young-people-movie.

and new few war movies (I somehow became a fan of these movies, I love it how they show how war is absurd):

Full Metal Jacket, Jarhead, The Pianist, Platoon..

just a few movies.
Title: Re: The movie topic
Post by: theis on Jun 23, 2008, 04:51 PM
Some good movies there, man. Into the Wild is absolutely amazing. I cried like a baby at the end...

The Rules of Attraction is just fucking awesome. One of my favorites. Hilarious and tragic. "My name is not Richard...it's DICK!" :D

Full Metal Jacket is all kinds of badass.

I really want to see Half Nelson...it looks great. Tracey Fragments looks interesting too.

Ryan Reynolds is great, so i'm definitely interested in The Nines and Chaos Theory.

And in same manner, I started to like two actresses - Ellen Page and, of course, Shannyn Sossamon, which is SO - FUCKING - HOT in The Rules of Attraction.

Is that from The Thing remake? I haven't seen it properly but my boss had it on at work not so long ago.

Anyone here seen Dead Man's Shoes? I feel like almost the only person ever who has - I know a grand total of 3 people who have only heard of it besides myself :P One of my favourite films of all time.

I watched [REC] for the first time last night after my boss told me about it a couple months ago. Pretty decent film - at first I thought it was gonna drag on cos the first 7 minutes or so were a bit tiresome but apart from that I loved it. There's a sequel coming out next year too, and an American shot for shot remake comes out this October called Quarantine.

Saw The Dark Knight

Batman's voice. It's like he had a cock in his throat 24/7. Also fell asleep during the movie. But that's because I was too tired. I think.

why is it now cool to bash the dark knight? get over it, even if you hate comic books, heath ledger, maggie gyllenhaal's face, or bale's voice, it is still a very good movie.

what you would you rate "we own the night" from 1 to 10

and why
Its an ok movie.  I don't know about a 1-10.  Its been too long since I watched it.  But I don't know.  Mark wasn't as strong of an actor as he usually is.  That was kind of disappointing.  And Phoenix is kind of bla to me.  I don't know, he just doesn't do it for me ( except in the village) Plus I don't think they did a very good job of portraying a police department.  It was just an ok movie.  The opening scene was amazing though.

Shut up, I'm not bashing it to look cool. I just expected way from it because it received global praise. The characters weren't as deep as I thought they were gonna be, story was way too chaotic for its own right and the Joker was not in there enough. Quite frankly, I thought it was boring.

Watched:

The Devil Wears Prada - Even though Meryl Streep's performance was good, the movie itself was boring and predictable. Some fun parts here and there but it just wasn't for me I guess. 6/10

Final Destination - Entertaining teen horror flick. Interesting idea but realization lacked something and the movie remained just mediocre. 7/10

Transamerica - Felicity Huffman deserved the awards and nominations she got. The movie was funny at times and reminded me of Sideways, which I liked, but this one just wasn't as good. 7/10

Watched this a while ago and I actually really enjoyed it. I didn't like the ending but that was before I found out they're actually doing a sequel called [REC] 2. There's a shot-for-shot remake coming out in October I think called Quarantine which I'll go and watch but it probably won't be as good.

Recenctly I've seen:

Zohan - not as good as I thought it would be
Get Smart - AWESOME ;D
The Strangers - pretty terrible :/

Going to see Step Brothers tonight though my dad just got it on DVD, and I'm reeeally looking forward to watching Shane Meadows' new film Somer's Town :]

watched some flicks last night:

be kind rewind (what an absolute disappointment! you'd think it's funny to see jack black and mos def reinvent scenes from ghostbusters, boyz n the hood, robocop, etc. but it's not... it's really not. just a boring mess of a movie. i can't believe this was made by michel gondry "eternal sunshine of the spotless mind")

walk hard: the dewey cox story (pretty damn funny! a little weak compared to other Apatow movies, but still worth watching. the Beatles scene had me in stitches. that was hilarious.)

halloween '07 ( i hated it the first time i watched it, but i somewhat enjoyed it this time around)
Title: Re: The movie topic

In the past few nights:

Dune- B
Vicky Cristina Barcelona- A
Ghost in the Shell- A

I also watched all 3 LOTR films for the first time in their extended-cuts...it really makes it seem like one huge film.  I was high throughout and it was an awesome full day....got a projector and watched all of it on a huge wall with my buddies.
Title: Re: The movie topic
Post by: Shaye on Sep 03, 2008, 09:31 PM
I've recently watched:

Step Brothers - IMO, absolutely hysterical. I saw it in theaters twice. Classic Will Ferrell and John C. Riley performances.

Pineapple Express - Funny as hell. Went on a little longer than it should have. The ending seems to get dragged out a bit. Made me want to
                                               take up smoking pot full time.  "THUG LIFE".
                                       

Hamlet 2 - I really thought this movie had potential. Don't get me wrong, there are a few shining moments, particularly the
                             "Rock Me Sex Jesus"play. But there were repeated times throughout the movie where it seemed like I had to ask myself
                              whether that scene was supposed to be funny, because well...I wasn't laughing but thought that I should be. If you're gonna
                              see this, I recommend waiting until you can rent it and if not, then I would say you're not missing much.

Quotei just watched "Perfume: The Story of a Murderer"

from the beginning on i kind of watched it like an antithesis to a super hero movie. a super-villian movie so to say.

a guy with a superior sense of smell and a broken mind wants to safe the smell of beautiful, virgin women forever and creates a parfum out of women that he has to kill.

i think some of you know the novel or the movie. i like the different setting. not the typical new york gangster who kills with a sniper rifle or something.

im asking myself who he was able to kill al those virgins if their smell in a parfum was able to apeace all people around him that actually wanted to slaughter him.

one explanation could be: due to his education he was not able to feel any love at all.

and y did everyone died that he left (his mother, the women of the orphanage, the tanner, the parfum creator) he did not kill them but they all died when jean-baptiste left them. what the meaning of this motive?


maybe someone can answer my questions here?

I just finished  watching pineapple express, well actually i finished staring at the wall behind my computer hoping to see something more entertaining,  but I was mostly just resisting the temptation to throw myself from my fourth floor window because i dont want to live in a world where there are people putting this much effort into creating such atrocities and other people that like them. 

The opening sequence was pretty good, i laughed a couple times and started to get comfortable with a nice joint and couple pb and js.   I was actually kinda pumped because i was waiting to see this movie for a while.  But soon I realized the laughing stopped.  Then I got mad.  Then I got suicidal.  I literally had to look away from the screen and shield my eyes using my ancient reflexive instincts to survive.  Have you ever seen 2 girls 1 cup?  You know how at first your kinda curious and interested, then all of sudden some chocolate soft serve with peanuts is filling a cup, and you still watch unsure what just happened. Then, wait whats that in her mouth? NOOOO!!!  and you head jerks quicker than your leg when the doc taps your knee.

then you look back to see if the horror is over

but o no, its much worse

and then you turn it off

Brad Pitt and everyone overall was great, but the best scenes were with J.K. Simmons ( http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0799777/ ) everything that guy is in is amazing.

One of the best lines came at the beginning of the movie "You're a fucking Mormon. Next to you we all have a drinking problem"

I have unfortunately never seen The Cell so I couldn't tell you.  It's basically just a story this man is telling a little girl in the hospital and of course the images Tarsem puts in this story are amazing.  If you have a nice tv and blue ray player I'd definitely suggest watching it.  I have neither, but I imagine it looks nice.

malchovich, pitt, clooney and mcdormand were all fantastic.

my only gripe is that i wish it would've been longer.

I went to see Death Race last night and it was awesome. Me and my friend also went to watch Disaster Movie last week cos we had nothing to do and we have these unlimited cards for Cineworld... and it was absolutely WANK.

Going to watch Taken tonight.

Some poor couple I saw at the cinema tonight :P

It really was fucking terrible and it's just rehashing the Scary Movies really.

Anyway I lost my unlimited card about 2 weeks ago and I don't have a spare tenner for a new one just yet, so I've just been using my reference and card numbers for the past 5 times I've been. Except tonight the bitch on the till said she wouldn't let me in and that everyone else [at 2 seperate cinemas] who let me in was breaking the rules. So I ended up coming home instead :@

Watched Blades Of Glory (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0445934/) and Dead Silence (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0455760/) past weekend. Both were ok for hangover entertainment but still rather boring.

Watched disaster movie online bout a week ago. It really sucked. Except for the part with batman. True story. Saw Burn after reading yesterday, that was definitely worth the money.

watched Righteous Kill (the new flick with Al Pacino and Robert De Niro).

a really weak movie. lame script. cliché story....

other than that, it was somewhat entertaining and i must admit that it was cool to see Pacino and De Niro work together as NYPD cops.

I saw Sympathy for Lady Vengeance.  Park Chan-wook really knows how to make things epic.  It seemed a little drawn out but it had a very original story structure.  This movie made me reconsider my view on Oldboy and I think I like that movie more now.

Uhuh, I just tend to catch films when I can. It's rare I'll stay really up to date. It's kinda nice not having the hype and the whole shebang tainting my view of the movie.

Having said that, I still keep up with what's going on from movie magazines and such. I'll buy Empire and Total Film monthly. I'll still check new films sometimes. Cloverfield and The Dark Knight were two I saw in the cinema because it simply had to be done in both cases. I didn't wanna miss the experience.


The last film that really hit me hard was [Rec]. I bought it a little while ago and watched it alone one night with the house to myself. Crazy, crazy shit. The end was just INSANE.

Blindness (from the director of City of God) - very strange flick. not what i thought it would be. amazing cinematopgraphy and Julianne Moore is outstanding as usual. the movie has a lot of flaws regarding the script and the end was pretty weak. it could have been phenomenal. 7/10.

Role Models - i went to a screening for this yesterday. absolutely HILARIOUS! Paul Rudd and Sean William Scott as buddies was just perfect. highly recommended. 9/10.

watched Quarantine today. i liked it a little more than Rec, but still a hugely mediocre flick with a few cool scares.

also watched Body of Lies.

Hmm, no doubt that this was good movie making, but i was still disappointed. i can't really point anything bad out...the acting was strong, the actions scenes were amazing (like practially every Ridley Scott movie), but the plot was somewhat contrived and the ending left me wanting more.

very good movie, but not up there with Ridley's other masterpieces
Title: Re: The movie topic
Post by: defskull on Oct 12, 2008, 06:49 AM
Yeah I'm not too interested in Body of Lies.  Just looks..generic.  I know it's got big names and Ridley Scott but it looks like it has no distinguishable story.

I liked it.  I mean, I could see a lot of America in the movie too.  Seeing as how our cultures are really not so different.  And we totally copied your punk movement.  But even the hate and anger.  It was all too familiar.

They definitely push the limits even from the first film.  It has a different feel, like a Tarentino film mixed with the first Feast, but I really liked it and laughed fucking hard a couple of times.  Also, the storyline picks up at the end of the first.

Watched Superbad and Blood Diamond.

Superbad was funny, the acting performances were good and it was overally a good comedy. But after reading some praising reviews I was expecting more and apparently too much. Just didn't hit my laughing nerve as much as, for example, 40 Year Old Virgin.

Blood Diamond was a great movie, rather entertaining but still thoughtful and probably realistic. DiCaprio has gotten 'better' from the times of Titanic and Djimon Hounsou was also really good. Though Jennifer Connelly wasn't bad, the love story between a rhodesian mercenary/smuggler and an american journalist was quite predictable from the beginning.

Finally watched it and I have to disagree.  It did well on following the short story and the ending was the same.  I remember the tongue ripping to be one of the most disturbing descriptions I had ever read in a book before and the only complaint I had was it was too short in the film.  Also, the CGI did not stick out enough to ruin the movie.  I liked it alot.

very nice movie indeed!

aaand watched 5 Centimetres per Second (anime). Realistic, and very beautifully drawn.

aaand watched 4 movies the day before yesterday:
Mystic River - the first part of it was decent, then it was just too slow for me, overdramatic.
How to Lose Friends and Alienate People - a decent movie with Sean Pegg.
Adaptation - this movie stands out from all the typical 'the ending is a twist' movies. Thoughtful.
The Onion Movie - this gave me a nice laugh. Satire.

Post by: oldgentlovecraft on Nov 24, 2008, 01:08 AM
I hate to say it, Theis, but I don't focus on the acting.  I think the acting was more natural.  It seemed more realistic in this film than Diary of the Dead (I loved that one too, Romero for life!).  It is worth picking up and there are few twists near the end with some decent social commentary.

Automaton Transfusion was a bit of a letdown.  Got excited from the preview then was completely confused by the film.  A bunch of hardcore/punk kids making a zombie movie that has the potential to be a modern RotLD but gets caught up in overacting and local band promotion.  Ugh.  Sweet ass gore effects for a low budget movie but other than that...

Stink of Flesh was much better and showed how low budget should be done.  Fucking funny and gory.

At first I didn't like it either, but then I thought of it as a type of student film project, and that's basically all it is, from what I've heard about the director and such. That kinda made me enjoy it a bit more....just a fun zombie movie.

I agree with the random music though. I think Dance Club Massacre was in there. They're not bad.

some recent flicks I've seen:

The Lookout: with Joseph Gordon-Leavitt. see it. just see it. Jeff Daniels is greatness too.
Zombie Strippers: ummm......terrible. just terrible. even Tito Ortiz was in it. I wanted to vomit.
Role Models: paid $10 for admission, which pissed me off. amazingly, after the movie I thought it was worth every penny. Paul Rudd and McLovin carried it, and Elizabeth Banks is hotttt.
My Name Is Bruce: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0489235/ another good recommendation. after the reading about the plot, I think any one would want to see this.
X-Files I want to Believe: I don't want to say avoid this movie. But I just felt so disappointed with it after watching it. If you loved the show like me, it's worth seeing. If not, then it's a pass.

i looooved the ending to the mist (the movie). so fucked up, take everybody out and then 5 seconds later everythings fine, way better than the book. which i don't think i've ever said that before.

jeepers creepers is a classic fucking movie. great from start to finish. i didn't really like the second one tough. i found it too funny. when he was all fucked up in the cornfield (i think it was a cornfield) and like dolphin jumping over the top of the corn. i couldn't stop laughing. it looked rediculous, everybody running away from him and he's flopping around trying to catch them.
Title: Re: The movie topic

anybody seen anything about the new punisher coming out? i saw one preview which looked okay. i'm not a huge fan of the comic and all the other punisher movies blow. you think this one will be the franchises savior? i really like the actor they got for it tough. he was fucking awesome in the HBO series "ROME". which i loved and was greatly dissapointed they only gave it two seasons. same with "carnivale" i was obsessed with that show and they ended the show on a huge cliffhanger after two seasons. that pissed me off.
Title: Re: The movie topic
Post by: bright lights, big city on Dec 06, 2008, 12:15 AM
I'm torn with it. Rome was good, and the villain in this is from the Wire (Dominic West), which another classic HBO series.

But, for some reason series' like this one and Ghost Rider and Daredevil are refused a good script by Marvel. I liked most of their comic heroes, but only a select few actually work for movies, apparently.

Also its getting shitty reviews left and right, but hey it should at least have mindless action (like Rambo, perhaps?) and maybe boobies. So I will likely see it, especially since one of my buddies is a huge Punisher fan.

i really hate the Jeepers Creepers movies. one of the main reasons for the hate; the director is a convicted pedophile. i can't support shit like that.

also, the first one...the beginning was great. then he turned into a winged monster... bummer.

2nd flick was all around terrible.

(and before anyone starts, i first found out about the pedophile thing after i'd watched the movies).

i really hate the Jeepers Creepers movies. one of the main reasons for the hate; the director is a convicted pedophile. i can't support shit like that.

also, the first one...the beginning was great. then he turned into a winged monster... bummer.

2nd flick was all around terrible.

(and before anyone starts, i first found out about the pedophile thing after i'd watched the movies).

lol. its a typical teen age movie just like ebert said

it's alright. I just am not too excited for this yet. i am really conflicted with this movie though.

it's got Christian Bale, so I'll see it, but on the otherhand I tend to dislike movies by McG. I honestly was fine with the way things ended with the trilogy
Title: Re: The movie topic
Post by: theis on Dec 12, 2008, 02:26 AM
yeah i'm worried about McG being the director too. But who knows...he might surprise us.

Bale haven't made a terrible movie yet (yes, i liked Shaft and Reign of Fire, haha), so i'm being optimistic.

assuming this is another trilogy, i just hope it'll be better than the newest star wars trilogy. and having Christian Bale is definitely a good sign.

I'm torn with it. Rome was good, and the villain in this is from the Wire (Dominic West), which another classic HBO series.

But, for some reason series' like this one and Ghost Rider and Daredevil are refused a good script by Marvel. I liked most of their comic heroes, but only a select few actually work for movies, apparently.

Also its getting shitty reviews left and right, but hey it should at least have mindless action (like Rambo, perhaps?) and maybe boobies. So I will likely see it, especially since one of my buddies is a huge Punisher fan.

here is a really good review of the movie. makes me wanna go see it (even more)

i actually just saw it last night. it was an all-around great movie experience because at this place called Hollywood Boulevard they have in the Chicago area. Basically it's a movie theater combined with a restaurant (people wait on you and bring you booze and nachos and shit).
but anyway I really pleasantly surprised. not the best movie, not the greatest script, but it just like I thought, Dominic West as Jigsaw was cool and so was Ray Stevenson as Punisher. They definitely brought the action and the gore, which was fine by me.
A great movie to get loaded or stoned and see with your good friends.

well it wasnt as funny as being john malkovich, and it was definitely better than adaptation. the character development is insane, and there are a lot of subtleties that can be interpreted many ways. theres a lot more going on than what the story leads on.

Romero has talked about his new "Dead" film.  About tribalism and how the survivors split on their beliefs about finding a cure and leaving the dead unharmed or killing everything.  Said it will have a lot more action like Dawn of the Dead. 

Silent Hill 2 has a confirmed director but neither the original writer or director will be involved.  The director (Gans) is busy and can't do it so the writer refused to help.

Got the new Rue Morgue and Gorezone so I'm updating lol.

Diary was actually written first but Cloverfield gets all of the credit since it was a mainstream release.

i haven't seen zombie diaries or dance of the dead. but i have heard good things about both not just from on here.

i didn't like diary of the dead at all. i thought the plot was dumb, the special effects were cheesey and the acting was about as bad as it gets. and i hate the handy cam view. blair witch was dumb, it was the worst part of cloverfield and it made this already bad movie that much worse. kinda harsh i guess but as far as romero's standards goes it was just terrible.

the day the earth stood still is the worst piece of dogshit ever made.  the scenes dont progress naturally into each other,  nothing is even explained, nothing is constant, the acting is embarrassing to watch (even  jen connelly and kathy bates suck it up and i wanted to slap will smiths son the whole time),  why the hell cant the stadium eating insects (that were never explained in any way) eat through Neo's suit or his hand that he uses to shield his eyes? or go under the bridge (or just devour it)?  Why does Bill and Will's son hitchhike (when they have a car)  in the back of a couple drunk frat boys truck and happen to get dropped off at the cemetery that the kid's dad is buried in,  then suddenly connelly appears from thin air (after she was tether hijacked by a helicopter and brought to some secret base) and when they cry over their lost loved one Neo realizes humanity isnt all bad (like thats some kind of evidence)?  What the fuck is that? That is SHIT,  which is what this whole movie is,   the special fx werent even good,  the giant kill machine (or whatever the fuck it was) looked like a saturday morning cartoon

I thought Pineapple Express was very funny.. but wow.  I didn't expect such violence in it.

just saw horton hears a who and i loved it. animation (CGI or classic) is the only way to do suess' work justice. his stuff just doesn't translate well with live action. my only problem is that jim carrey made horton a little to manic. but hey thats what you get when have jim carrey, who i like but should have toned it down for the humble do-gooder horton.

Slumdog Millionaire was actually pretty interesting.  I saw The Wrestler and it surprised me, Mickey Rourke is an amazing actor (plus you get to see Marissa Tomei's ROCKIN tits.)  And Grand Torino is also good..love Clint Eastwood in that movie.

I finally got around to seeing two movies on my list of movies to see: Slither and Pathology.

Slither was so badass.  My only complaint though, and I've read this elsewhere online, is the lack of nudity.  It would have made that movie complete.  Otherwise a great throwback to 80's horror movies. 

Pathology was sort of a disappointment.  I had heard it was disturbing and it was also from the creators of Crank, so I was expecting some good shit.  The characters were a too...one dimensional for me.  But the fucking in front of the corpse of the person you just killed was pretty great.  And the ending was satisfying as well.  I wish the person from Wedding Crashers had a bigger/better role though.

Watched couple of movies last weekend...

[REC]: Positive surprise. At first, I didn't really know what to expect about the plot...just knew it's gonna be Blair Witch style filmed horror movie. It seemed realistic because the locations and apparently the actors' reactions in some scenes were real. And it was scary as well.

No Country For Old Men: Good movie but I don't think it deserved 4 Oscars...though I can't remember what were the challengers. It just lacked something that I can't quite put my finger on. Maybe a bit boring sometimes. Characters and acting performances were good, some nice scenes and overally I don't have much bad things to say. Maybe I was expecting too much.

Haute Tension: Intense, disturbing horror. I don't know if I liked the twist; it was surprising and well-timed but maybe it twisted the plot too much and left me a bit disappointed. Nevertheless, good stuff.

Watched it yesterday and I wasn't disappointed.  All the movies are the same:  action packed, awesome plot.  I thought it was funny when Gerard Butler's character danced with his best friend (don't want to spoil too much for anyone).

Most def.  I like how the re-make really keeps it "real", like all the emergency broadcast interruptions etc.  The original is classic zombie cinema, will never be topped and is in its own category of awesomeness.  ;)

i guess i can understand why people are tired of them. once you've seen one you've seen them all. crazy killing machines and twisty turny plots. but i love it and haven't gotten the least bored of it 5 movies in. i look forward to 6 and everyone they make after. the plots may be getting weaker, but its still entertaining to me.

Ooh I love seeing all the ways they get killed,don't get me wrong. All the machines and shit are awesome! What I think was odd about this last one *SPOILER* was when the guy and girl were putting their arms in the box,it showed his arm getting cut....but didn't show hers. He ended up dying,and she crawled thru to the other room. I don't think she cut her hand and made him do it,and is somehow gonna be involved in the next movie.

oh i'm sure she will be in the next three movies in at least flashback form. thats one of the things i love about the twists and turns they keep making things confusing and at the same time asnsering old questions. and one movie flows into the next. just how everything is so connected and everything someone does effects all the games. i love wathing the convoluted plot unfurl and come together.

i'll rent it if i ever come across it.

i doubt you will find it, tho you may get lucky. i had to wait a week for netflix to deliver it. its the best horrible movie ever made! so bad its good and the number of well known people in it is really funny (directed by john landis, christopher lee, captain kangaroo, etc. ) here is a little morsel for you

watch [Rec] instead. Quarantine is the remake and it sucks (imo) compared to the original.

Post by: oldgentlovecraft on Feb 20, 2009, 12:45 AM
I've seen Quarantine before and I enjoyed it.  I heard that REC was a little better but I'll ending up owning both anyway.  If it's horror or darker I'll watch and it's hard for me not to like something.  And trust me, I've seen some bad ones. 

Red is excellent and close to the book.  Been a Ketchum fan for a while now.

Title: Re: The movie topic
Post by: theis on Feb 20, 2009, 01:32 AM
it's pretty similar, but the original is more effective in its scares. and the ending is very different. in [Rec] the outbreak isn't caused by rabies, but something much more disturbing.
Title: Re: The movie topic

I'll definitely get it when I can find it.  I checked since Quarantine came out but couldn't find it, sadly.  Hope it gets a decent DVD release and not some shitty afterthought.

He gave them the empty warehouse thing, right?  If so then yeah.  It's been awhile since I've seen it though.

Recent movies I've seen:

Zombie Strippers
Vicky Cristina Barcelona
Coraline

VCB was really good, Zombie Strippers had worse directing than a lot of pornos I have seen and Coraline was a fun movie to watch.

i love cheesy horror movies, but this was just bad. i think the way the killer looked really made the movie go from bad to unwatchable for me. like quasimodo and the elephant man had a baby. the only good part was the boobs. that and the guy wasn't really a director (or whatever he was pretending to be), that was pretty funny.

Tom Waits To Appear in Hughes Brother's The Book of Eli

We've been neglecting all the recent casting news for The Book of Eli, primarily because we already know who the important actors are and thus don't really need to write up every little announcement for the supporting cast. However, this is one that is worth mentioning, in addition to recapping all the other recent additions. Anti (via The Playlist) is reporting that musician Tom Waits has a small role as the "Engineer" in The Book of Eli. We already know that Denzel Washington is on-board as the lead and is joined by Gary Oldman and Mila Kunis, but there's a handful of other great actors that I haven't mentioned yet either.

Also appearing in The Book of Eli are Ray Stevenson, Michael Gambon, Jennifer Beals, and Frances de la Tour. The film is post-apocalyptic western, in which a lone man (Washington) fights his way across America in order to protect a sacred book that holds the secrets to saving humankind. Directors Albert and Allen Hughes (Dead Presidents, From Hell) are currently filming in New Mexico for release in January of 2010. As for Waits, he's appeared in quite a few films before, including Bram Stoker's Dracula, Mystery Men, Domino, and Wristcutters: A Love Story most recently. Stay tuned for more on The Book of Eli!

Crank 2: High Voltage
Plot synopsis:

"Picking up immediately after he hits the ground at the end of Crank, Chev Chelios (Jason Statham) is kidnapped by a gang of Chinese medics. On an operating table, they attempt to harvest his organs. But after they remove his heart and replace it with an electronic temporary one, Chev wakes up and kills the medics. He then has to chase after the gang who has stolen his heart. At the same time, he must keep shocking himself with regular jolts of electricity to keep himself alive."

holy crap that sounds retarded. if he was dead and they were harvesting his organs why would they replace his heart with an "electronic temporary one" and how would that bring him back to life. after falling from the height he did (at the end of the first one), he would be a mangled pile of broken bones anyway.

Slumdog Millionaire tonight, Pay It Forward last night.

Slumdog - maybe this move is overhyped, but in a way I liked it. Good cinematography, nice plot.. though this movie did not leave anything in me.

Pay It Forward - ah, what a movie. Sad, but good.

Damn this could've been posted in games or books, but f that. I finally finished reading The Road by Cormac McCarthy. Fuckin' awesome. That's it. One of the best books I've read.

Then there was the reason i read it in the first place: a movie version is coming out this year with Viggo http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0898367/

The reason I was thinking video games is because if anyone here has played Fallout 3, I actually somewhat compare this story and setting to that game (specifically the type of post-apocalyptic American setting). Jesus, I'm gettin' hard just thinking about seeing this movie.

Great, great film indeed. I watched it not long ago (i'd seen it before) and i forgot how awesome it is.

Really liked I Love You, Man thought it was perfectly executed as a fun, funny sporadic comedy where nothing has to happen to be really funny. It almost felt like Apatow had some sort of hand in it...though i feel like i remember seeing he really didn't have a hand in it???

Yeah, good to see some older members still posting. I'll never forget your Av of the guy holding the pot sign. haha.

anyway, I just watched "There Will Be Blood" for the second time, and i am convinced it is a masterpiece...perhaps even the best film of our generation, in a classical film history sense. There is not a single word spoken for the first 15 minutes, yet we all know who Daniel is, what his motives are, how long it took him to conjure the idea of oil=wealth, etc.

my question for those who have seen it is:

Are you convinced that Eli and Paul were twins, or do you - like me - have an inkling to believe that Eli and Paul were the same person? We only see "Paul" once, and the rest of the film is the Eli character. In my opinion, there are countless instances within the film that one can read as being evidence to Eli making Paul up in his mind.

has anyone else thought about this? If so, maybe we can create a topic and discuss. maybe no one cares.
Title: Re: The movie topic
Post by: shine down unshy on Apr 07, 2009, 07:01 AM
My friend and I used to think that they could have been the same person, Daniel probably thought Paul was fucking with him.  But I'm convinced that they were indeed twins.  At the end when Eli goes to see Daniel at his house, he says that Paul was the chosen brother and that Eli was the afterbirth and such..Eli seemed pretty distraught..like he didn't want to hear that.  Plus Eli beat his dad up and said "A stupid son to a stupid father".  So yeah..pretty sure they were twins.
Title: Re: The movie topic
Post by: bright lights, big city on Apr 07, 2009, 07:21 AM
Yes I remember thinking about that while watching it the first time. But that ending scene (indeed awesome), seemed like Eli really was pissed when he mentioned his brother. I also believe there was a scene when Eli was yelling at Abel, and they mention Paul. So personally, I'm convinced that they were 2 separate people.
Title: Re: The movie topic
Post by: theis on Apr 07, 2009, 12:17 PM
Yeah, they were definitely twins. The whole speech at the end in the bowling alley and how Eli reacts to it, wouldn't make any sense if they were the same person.

i have seen this movie one time. and when it had ended, i put my hands in the air in silent revelry. one of the greatest i have seen. ive even dared calling it the greatest. i highly believe that eli and paul are the same person.

but i think i need a second review. ill watch it today on bowlzo the clown time :)
Title: Re: The movie topic
Post by: one weak on Apr 07, 2009, 06:56 PM
See, I was feeling the same way the first time i saw it - meaning that i thought there was a possibility they could be the same person, but most likely twins.

However, this film is so fantastic that if you watch the film from the other perspective (that they are one person) it ALSO is convincing. The scene at the end - where Eli comes to see Daniel in the bowling ally - he says, "i'll fix US a drink" meaning he and Daniel right??? That's what i thought. Watch closely, Eli mixes not 2 drinks, but 3 drinks!! He then sets 2 down (as Daniel grabs a bottle for himself) and Eli proceeds to drink 2 of the 3 drinks. Was he wanting to get drunk, or was he drinking for 2????

i think the speech at the end can be taken as Daniel knowing that Eli is a psycho and he is fucking with him. He knows that he can essentially break Eli by bringing "Paul" into the equation, which he does by making him confess his false prophecy....

other scenes in the film with Eli's father are crazy too. His father, never mentions another son, nor does Eli say anything to anyone other than Daniel and HW about Paul. When he attacks his father, he only says "stupid son" but never mentions Paul by name.

I'm not trying to convince anyone, as i still believe it is open to interpretation, but just pointing out some great things about this film from my perspective.
Title: Re: The movie topic
Post by: wither-I on Apr 07, 2009, 07:12 PM
Dude, I have seen it exactly the same way. I don't remember the "three drinks", but I was convinced watching it, at the ending scene where he was terrorizing eli and mocking him because he was "actually insane". I thought initially, all signs pointed to yes. but i need another review...

Title: Re: The movie topic
Post by: wither-I on Apr 08, 2009, 02:07 AM
um yeah it would. i think it is the exact reason why daniel taunts him so mockingly. and Eli'sreaction is just proof of his "inner" strifes and confusions.

from the time daniel and hw get on the quail farm and propose the deal with eli's father, eli automatically chimes in speaking of oil and bargaining right away at prices just as "paul" did when he walked into daniel planview's office asking for money in exchange of information of the land. where did paul go? yeah he could have wondered off, but why never be mentioned withi the family.

when eli jumps on his father over the kitchen table and is screaming at him calling him a stupid man for buying into plainview's prospects he's relieving himself of the guilt for initially bartering with him. the whole movie is daniel and eli getting at each other, trying to "one up" right from the begining with paul.
Title: Re: The movie topic
Post by: wither-I on Apr 08, 2009, 02:27 AM
so i looked it up.

and supposedly they had originally cast two different actors to play paul and eli signaling they were two different people (or brothers).
but then the director changed his mind and cut the other actor making eli and paul off the same actor paul dano in an interview with dano;

http://www.cinematical.com/2008/01/10/paul-dano-talks-blood-in-depth-answers-key-plot-questions/

more plot;
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/There_Will_Be_Blood

even after reading of this im still speculating as to the directors switch of the actors to play it off as such, a dissociative identitiy concept.
why else would there be so much sparse, dry conflict of the characters pointing to one direction, and then another.

i think the director (paul thomas anderson) wants us to think so.

I also actually prefer if they were the same person, or intended to be (in editing of the movie/script because it makes the movie that much better. :)

they screened the new star trek there a few days ago. i guess they were "playing" wrath of khan when the film "broke" and out came all the movie bigwigs (not actors)with leonard nimoy who asked the crowd if they wanted to see the new movie. You should read some of the reviews, i think some of audience literally creamed in their jeans the movie was so good (but take with a grain of salt considering these are hardcore trekkers we're talking about)

Went and saw I Love You Man last week. overall it was pretty good, even though this was probably one of Paul Rudd's worse roles, especially when compared to the awesome Role Models. It just seemed to drag a little at times. But Jason Segel was funny as usual.

last night saw Observe and Report. Surprisingly I thought it was more of a coming-of-age story, kind of weird, i know. But it was still pretty funny, Ray Liotta was his usual self, Anna Faris was actually good, and let's just say the last 15 minutes of the movie make it. It's another movie that has a GREAT use for the Pixies' "Where Is My Mind"....

i haven't seen "Role Models," but i thought Paul Rudd's best role yet was "I Love You Man"

i'll have to check out Role Models....and Observe and Report

That's pretty cool man.  I wish I could've been there but I'm not a super Star Trek geek, I'm more into Star Wars.  Still, I would love to see the new Star Trek movie.

oh man, i love Truffaut. I really liked "Jules et Jim," but my favorite Truffaut film (and one of my top 5 of all time) is "The 400 Blows" You should check that out if you haven't seen it.
Title: Re: The movie topic
Post by: deftonekid on Apr 14, 2009, 01:14 AM
yeah "The 400 Blows" is one of my favorite Truffaut films too. I got the chance to watch some of his movies over the past 2 months. I really enjoyed "The Bride Wore Black ", "Two English Girls and the Continent " and of course "Jules et Jim".

Underrated to the uninitiated my friend.  Very heavy Lovecraftian nods throughout.  One of my favorite Carpenter flicks right up there with The Thing (another nod, even the original) and The Fog.

Post by: whodunit? on Apr 27, 2009, 01:17 PM
because most technology, which was the most exciting thing in early scifi movies/books, happend already. except time travel and travelling to different galaxies.

I love reading old sci-fi books where the author describes a personal computer being a hi-tech.
besides, old sci-fi books/movies have an unforgetable atmosphere. most sci-fi nowadays reminds me of computer games, but withou a possiblity to control the main character.
despite what people say, I think THE WAR OF THE WORLDS was pretty last, goo, sci-fi movie. I was highly dissapointed with all new movies after that.

I don't really know what to say about this movie. I'm kind of in a state of awe. First of all, I'm absolutely amazed by the lead child actors in this movie. It shouldn't be possible to be this good at the age of 12/13. Amazing.

The whole movie was mesmerizing and unlike anything else I've ever seen. It showed possibly every single human emotion both from the characters and the way it worked on me. Beautiful, sad, scary, sweet, disturbing, odd, uplifting and just damn wonderful.

I need to see this again...and again. It was so subtle yet filled with so many layers.

One of the best movies I've seen in a while.

9.5/10

If the cat scene had been better executed I'd given this a perfect score.

Damn though, now the guy actually has another good blockbuster movie. Amazing. And his 2 directing efforts essentially brought life back to dead franchises.

I saw Star Trek and I have to say it was a very entertaining flick.  This is one of those movies you just have to watch in the theaters to get that fulfilling effect that you can't get by watching movies online.

ok so I ended going to the movies last night with some friends intending to see T4, BUT one of my buddies was a little late and T4 ended up being sold out. So I ended up wasting $10.50 on Angels and Demons.

and yes, I really thought it was a waste. maybe not as bad as Da Vinci Code, but my god Ron Howard could be doing such better projects than this. And I also enjoy Tom Hanks as an actor, but I'm going to go ahead and compare him to Nicolas Cage. Hanks' movie selection is starting to rival Cage, and hell, he even LOOKS like Cage in this series. I wanted to fall asleep during it, but its so-called "action scenes" kept me awake.

I know that things need to explained in movies, especially films like this, dealing with history, religion and such. But every 5 minutes Hanks' character says something sophisticated and has to explain it to the audience. This explanation is basically reading the wikipedia page of what he just said too. Just honestly gets boring real fast.

honestly, that didn't really do anything for me either. i like Raimi's movies but i was pretty content on waiting for the dvd of this. but alas, my friends all wanted to go, so i went too.

and in all seriousness, this was most scared i've been in a movie in years and years. actually i can't remember when i was last scared shitless. and from about 90 seconds into the movie, you will know what I mean and really enjoy the film. plus, I never appreciated what Raimi movies did with sound and music, but holy crap there were some really intense moments here.
A total throwback to 80s horror movies, I definitely recommend it. Even the acting towards the end got campy (in a good and funny way). Just a great movie to see with the buddies.

and he used the POLE CAMERA AND PUPPETS LIKE IN EVIL DEAD! I was so happy I saw how many puppeteers showed up in the credits.

and the blood effects definitely had that Evil Dead vibe as well

good God I loved this movie haha.
Title: Re: The movie topic
Post by: defskull on May 30, 2009, 07:52 PM
Yeah I loved it too.  Definitely had the "evil cam" going and that just made me smile.  Also, I'm pretty sure Sam Raimi's car (the one used in the evil dead movies) was the gypsy's car. 

In a way, this movie is sort of an homage to the Evil Dead movies.

what also surprised me was the fact that it was rated pg-13.it definitely got away with some stuff, and is not your typical pg-13 horror movie. with the reviews its getting and (hopefully) a good weekend turnout, i hope this means Hollywood could make more movies like this.

I loved it. One of my favorite horror movies in years. So many unsettleling scenes... the imaginary "demon" chasing and slashing Lucie, the tortured girl who Anna discovers (when she starts scraping her arm with the knife and rubs her face at the wall...holy shit, that was fucked)...and the ending. Fucking loved that ending!

I loved how unpredictable it was and it was nice to see an original story for once. I think Hostel is a Disney flick compared to this.

you could right about that, but I really think Raimi used older ways to get the effects. The end credits listed so many puppeteers. I can't remember, was the goat all CGI? or do you think that was a puppet?

Wow, I love Jim Carrey, but this has got to be one of the worst and most unfunny comedies I've seen in a while. I think I may have chuckled twice (the dream where he's dead on the couch and the Red Bull scene).
I almost turned it off when those two at the airport held him back because they thought he was a terrorist.

By far, the worst Jim Carrey movie ever.

i just got back from seeing it, and it was damn funny. it was really solid and steady humor, each scene accentuated to the fullest potential.

Yeah it was funny to me, but not as funny as I expected. It was just so outrageous at some parts that i just didn't know whether to laugh.

I also just felt uncomfortable because two morons decided it would be a brilliant idea to bring their kids to see it and the kids were right in front of me. WTF!?! The kids were even turning away and covering their eyes during half the movie like they even knew they shouldn't be there.

It's entertaining, but IMO you could wait for DVD.

it definitely was completely outrageous at times, but I still laughed my ass off. I can see how some could think he went too far though. But I thought he caught that same type of twisted/"unscripted"/awkward humor he did with Borat. I was satisfied with it.

I cant believe someone would bring their kids to this though. THAT is completely ridiculous.

^ Yeah it really bothered me. I mean, what kind of rock are you living under when you don't realize that this is completely inappropriate for kids. And when I say kids I'm not talking about maybe 13 or 14, I'm talking 7 or 8 years old. It was terrible.

But yeah, If you enjoyed Borat, this is along the same lines of craziness. I almost dies during the psychic reading from laughing so hard.

I know what you mean about the kids. My daughter is 9 and she tells me how a lot of her friends are allowed to watch rated R movies and even watch them on family nights. i mean she came home one talking about one of her friends who had seen the latest Rambo movie. WTF people!

Yeah it's pretty unbelievable. I mean, when I was little...and I'm talking like 6 years old my parents would let me watch Nightmare on Elm street and Friday the 13th because I just loved scary movies. They were pretty lenient. But Borat and Bruno are on a whole different level. I mean, some parts in Bruno were basically pornographic, and it was more "real" as in documentary style as opposed to fake blood and gore that those old horror movies had. I watched that stuff, but I wouldn't necessarily let my future kids watch it so it's definitely cause for concern.

I saw Moon tonight and it was exactly the kind of sci-fi movie I had been craving.  Without saying too much, I love sci-fi movies in space that involve isolation and paranoia and these were two of many elements of this movie.  I highly recommend it to anyone.  I wasn't too much of a Sam Rockwell fan buthe did a great job in this movie.

I saw David Cronenberg's The Fly for the first time over the weekend.  That movie was pretty damn good.  There was not much in terms of relationships building between characters, but Cronenberg and Jeff Goldblum were able to create some serious scariness.  It's very weird but it may have been one of the scarier movies I have seen.  I don't know what it was but I had this feeling like it was a very real possibility that something like this could happen.  Well done by all those involved to give me that feeling.  Great movie.

I finally saw Let The Right One In this weekend.  I thought it was a really great movie.  It definitely felt less like a vampire movie and more of a love story.  It was very sweet.  I'm so glad it didn't look or feel like everything else that seems to be about vampires these days.  The vampire aspect seemed to take backseat to the characters.  Interesting how characters make a movie worthwhile. 

Still, the vampire aspects of the movie were well done.  It made the concept of a vampire seem new all over again.  The performances by the the actors that portrayed Oskar and Eli were just astounding.

One of the reasons I hadn't seen it yet was because I did not want to accidentally buy the fucked up subtitles so I rented this movie instead.  Unfortunately I found out I had rented the fucked up subtitle version by accident.  So I may have to buy this movie and fully enjoy this movie with better subtitles.  I will say though that the butchered version was still good.

Post by: defskull on Aug 18, 2009, 09:09 AM
District 9 wasn't as great as I had hoped.  It was a frustrating experience because I wanted to like it more than I did.  The direction was great and the general idea was great as well, but perhaps where the story went is where I became dissatisfied. 

SPOILERS HERE ON OUT!!!!

The first half of the movie being essentially all documentary style was a great way to introduce the back story to the audience.  When the main human character (forgot his name) got sprayed with the black alien fuel, it was obvious he was going to become an alien.  That wasn't the problem.  I enjoyed how MNU got a hold of him to experiment on and essentially kill him to harvest his body for further research.  I really thought that the main character was going to die at the point, and afterward the story would be a conflict between the humans with alien technology and the aliens revolting against the humans. What happened instead was we had a character that you were supposed to hate the first half and then all of a sudden start feeling for him because humans don't care about his life anymore?  Up until almost the very end he was being a selfish prick, knocking out Chris (the alien, was that his name?) so that he could go up to the mothership to transform back to human.  I didn't understand why I should have been rooting for him when he was still being selfish.  Only in the last 10 minutes or so did he start acting selfless, but even then it was after realizing that waiting three years was now his only option to become human again. 

There were things I did enjoy.  The disgusting initial transformations the main character start going through such as pulling off his fingernails.  The alien technology blowing people up was awesome as well.  The CGI was good regardless of the budget, and when you realize it was only made for $30 million dollars it's even more spectacular.  The directing was ridiculously good.  This world felt extremely real and not fabricated as well.  It's too bad the script wasn't better to support the directing. 

Overall decent movie, but not as great as some people seem to be making it out to be.

District 9 wasn't as great as I had hoped.  It was a frustrating experience because I wanted to like it more than I did.  The direction was great and the general idea was great as well, but perhaps where the story went is where I became dissatisfied.

***POSSIBLE SPOILER ***

You are correct about the main character (Wilkus). I was able to put the minor deficiencies down BECAUSE of the directing, the acting, and effects, and just the overall story of the movie. I think that we really were supposed to feel bad for Wilkus (probably why they put the scenes in with his wife), and technically he was the main character. But I did see him as an asshole, like you did, and rooted for Chris the alien and son (which was fucking cute lol). I never really thought about Wilkus surviving or dying or caring about him, it was always the 2 main aliens.
And if they do announce a sequel for this, I am all for it.

Come on, ben. Comment on the flicks you watch :)

District 9.

Absolutely fantastic. Surprisingly touching and sad.

I loved the Aliens nod near the end. Where Wikus crawls into the armor suit/robot thingie. Oh, and the Cronenberg Fly nods were awesome too.

9/10.

cool, thanks for the recommendations.

I've decided to put some more effort into watching movies. ordinarily, I only watch a handful of movies every year and miss a lot of the big ones.

I watched District 9 last night too actually. very entertaining movie. dunno if I'd say it was actually that good, but it's certainly unique and well done.
Title: Re: The movie topic

pretty entertaining.  Truth be told I was extremely stoned while watching, and I enjoyed it but maybe that had something to do with it.  Not very original...I mean, it's Yojimbo combined with the original Django combined with A Fistful of Dollars.  I'd give it a 7/10. 

Paprika is one of my favorite anime films.  10/10

I fell asleep during the end of Appaloosa. 5/10

Trailer Park of Terror was fucking hilarious in all the worst ways.  2/10

I'll go as far as to say this could probably end up in my top 10 favorite comedies. Rudd and Segel are two of my favorite comedy actors and the chemistry between them in this flick is just phenomenal. This is the second time I watch it and it was even better this time around. I was practically laughing non-stop.

I wanna have a friend like Sydney Fife, haha.

I've seen 2 movies in the last few days: Adventureland was fantastic. This was the second movie that I know of from Greg Mottola (the other being Superbad) and I think Adventureland is even better than Superbad. It's definitely not as raunchy, and there's no slapstick humor. Just great acting, a great script. and what also made it great was just that everything from the characters and the setting seemed REAL. Also for you Apatow fans, Martin Starr is in it, and is a scene-stealer.

The other one was Ridley Scott's Body of Lies. Because it had DiCaprio/Crowe and Scott at the helm I was really excited. But it just felt kind of "meh". An average movie where things come together at the end nicely, but there have better Ridley Scott films, and even better movies that kind of deal with this situation (Syriana, Traitor)
Title: Re: The movie topic
Post by: theis on Aug 26, 2009, 12:15 AM
I'll agree with you on Body of Lies. Good movie, but it felt like something you'd seen many times before.

I can't wait to check out Adventureland. Looks great. Is Kristin Stewart a cutie as usual?

I watched it last weekend and I loved it. not only because Rashida Jones is friggin hot, but because I love Paul Rudd and Jason Segel too. there were so many awkward cringeworthy moments, which I usually loathe in comedies, but like you said, their chemistry (and good acting all around) made it work. I told my brother about it and he said he started watching it but turned it off after half an hour or something because he hated it so much.

Weird, I've heard nothing but good things about Adventureland.

As for District 9; The aliens have been here for 28 years, so I'd say that that's more than enough time to learn each others' languages.

In what way do you mean "why dont they just use them"? As in, shoot the humans? The Aliens aren't evil. If they started shooting down people it would cause a massive war between them and the humans. The Aliens just want peace and quit. And cat food. :D

I've seen a lot of damn films lately:

The Evil Dead- A, of course an all-time classic.  Scary as shit too, does so much with a small budget.  Awesome atmosphere.

A Nightmare on Elm Street II: Freddy's Revenge- B-, obviously a retarded film but the 80s music and red haired chick is reason enough to watch this.  The main male lead is a fucking dbag though.

Class of Nuke 'Em High- A+, I can't even describe this film.  Classic B movie.  Watch high.

The Road Warrior- A, an awesome film.  Kind of eerie because the dialogue is sparse and the visuals can sometimes get pretty trippy.  The main villain is hilarious but for some reason he works.  Mel Gibson is awesome and so is Mad Max

Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome- A+, my favorite Mad Max film.  I'll probably get a lot of shit for that.  But I'm sorry...Thunderdome, Masterblaster, the crazy cult, Tina Turner and her music, pig shit.  Awesome.

Tokyo Gore Police- B, a generally disturbing yet hilarious film.  A lot better than that horrible Machine Girl film...though it is the same makeup/gore guy.  Actually pretty stylish in parts, but some parts are just unneeded.

Title: Re: The movie topic

It didn't start out as a Halo movie. Peter Jackson had come up with the idea of the Halo movie and he wanted Neil Blomkamp to direct it, but the Halo thing fell through and Peter Jackson basically gave Blomkamp 30 mill.$ to make whatever he wanted to...and that was District 9.
Title: Re: The movie topic

Your opinion became void when you said that you didn't feel like reading subtitles.  It's statements like that that don't allow foreign movies to get larger releases in America and instead most of the country is left with a terrible remake.

Inland Empire.

My 2nd viewing since I first watched it a little over a year ago. Such a draining and intense movie to watch. This isn't entertainment...it's a mental journey through madness.

Incredible masterpiece.

10/10.

Tyson

REALLY good documentary, 8/10

"While I m in the dressing room five minutes before I come out, I m breaking my gloves down, I m pushing the leather to the back of my gloves, so my knuckle could pierce through. When I come out I have supreme confidence. I m scared to death. I m afraid. I m afraid of everything. I m afraid of losing. I m afraid of being humiliated. But I m confident. The closer I get to the ring the more confident I get. The closer, the more confident. The closer the more confident I get. All during training I ve been afraid of this man. I think this man might be capable of beating me. I ve dreamed of him beating me. For that I ve always stayed afraid of him. The closer I get to the ring the more confident I get. Once I m in the ring I m a god. No one could beat me. I walk around the ring but I never take my eyes off my opponent. Even if he s ready and pumping, and cant wait to get his hands on me. I keep my eyes on him. I keep my eyes on him. Then once I see a chink in his armor, boom, one of his eyes may move, and then I know I have him. Then once he comes to the center of the ring he looks at me with his piercing look as if he s not afraid. But he already made that mistake when he looked down for that one tenth of a second. I know I have him. He ll fight hard for the first two or three rounds, but I know I broke his spirit. During the fight I m supremely confident. I m making him miss and I m countering. I m hitting him to the body; I m punching him real hard. And I m punching him, and I m punching him, and I know he s gonna take my punches. He goes down, he s out. I m victorious. Mike Tyson, greatest fighter that ever lived. "

Title: Re: The movie topic

Jane Lynch does indeed rule in everything.

My two favorite lines from her:

40 Year Old Virgin: "Andy. Have you ever heard of the term... 'Fuck Buddy? "Well, it's a special... friend... who you fuck" The way she delivers it and her facial expression. Just hilarious.

And her "cocain speech" from Role Models is genius too.

Dazed and Confused was not even close to being as good as I expected it to be. If I watched it when I was fifteen - yeah, that movie would've rocked. not now

The Big Lebowski rocked, I laughed at a lot.

District 9 was basically interesting, yet the ending was quite disappointing, I'm not even sure why.

Angels and Demons was shitty.
I'm just glad another person saw and enjoyed The Big Lebowski

Is it really that good? I have avoided seeing it [for some odd, unknown reason]. All I know is, is that the bowling alley they go to is the one right down my street and the diner they go to is the one my family and I would eat at every Sunday. Hmmm....so what is it? Comedy? Suspense? WHAT:!?!!?!?

The King of Kong 9/10, excellent documentary with funny-as-fuck characters.  You feel ashamed for most of those people.

"Arthur. Digby. Sellers. Ever hear of a show called Branded? Wrote 156 episodes, bulk of the series. Not exactly a light-weight. After the uhh-what-have-you, we'll meet Larry Sellers, should be a pushover, and then yes, Donnie, we can stop at the uhhh.....In and Out Burger."

its um, ok i guess,  kinda boring
but John Goodman is in it and as usual is fucking awesome

John is def in my top 5 fav actors

what the hell, lets do a top 5 fav actors and the films that made them

in no order:  John Goodman (The big lebowski, fallen, arachnophobia, o brother where art thou, raising arizona, roseanne),
Harrison Ford (star wars, indiana jones (minus the ass raped 4th), blade runner) ,
Brad Pitt (12 monkeys, fight club, true romance, burn after reading, seven, troy (yea i liked troy, wana fight about it?), Kalifornia),
Johnny Depp (From Hell, Blow, Donnie Brasco, Once upon a time in Mexico, the first Pirates)
Clive Owen (Closer, children of men, king arthur, sin city, shoot em up, all around badassery),


you dont like my list?  well fuck you,  let me see better
Title: Re: The movie topic
Post by: bright lights, big city on Oct 07, 2009, 11:36 PM
I see nothing wrong with that list, except maybe swap out Clive Owen for Christian Bale (Machinist, Dark Knight, Equilibrium, The Prestige, 310 To Yuma, American Psycho)

barton fink*. very underrated movie.

top 5 favorite actors:

jeff bridges (lebowski, arlington road, the fisher king, tron, starman, iron man) - such an underrated actor.
sean penn (fast times at ridgemont high, carlito's way, u turn, mystic river, 21 grams, milk)
robert de niro (mean streets, taxi driver, raging bull, goodfellas, godfather part II, angel heart)
bill murray (ghostbusters, caddyshack, groundhog day, kingpin, lost in translation)
kurt russell (escape from new york, the thing, big trouble in little china, death proof)

honorable mention goes to:
joseph gordon-levitt (brick, mysterious skin, the lookout, killshot, 500 days of summer)

oh, and daniel day-lewis is amazing too.

and gary oldman.

and jack nicholson.

and kevin spacey.

haha.

haha awesome Theis, a top 10 would've been better. I thought of De Niro too, but add another awesome movie of his (in my opinion at least): Ronin. That movie is the tits.

And how the hell could I forget The Russell. And Oldman. Morgan Freeman too.
Title: Re: The movie topic
Post by: nonesuch on Oct 08, 2009, 11:47 PM
yea christian bale is a force, 3.10 is a truimph

and daniel day might be the best pure actor ever

and if your gona mention deniro dont forget heat, the deer hunter, meet the parents, jackie brown, and casino (among others)

this just in:  while doint a little research just now i found out that pacino, deniro, and val kilmer are getting back togerther for a HEAT remake! wow, that could be very interesting (or suck ass)

which leads me to Val Kilmer who i think is underrated and fuckin brilliant (the salton sea, wonderland, island of dr moreau, ghost and the darkness, willow, real genius, top gun, heat)



joseph gordon was even good on 3rd rock,  i saw 500 days, loved it, and have recently dloaded brick, which im about to watch

(500) Days of Summer

Good romantic movie. Didn't think it was that special though. The jumbled way of storytelling felt more like a gimmick.



Adam Resurrected

Suck my dick, Jeff Goldblum is pretty fucking awesome but did they ruin the ending on this one.



P-Star Rising

Lame documentary about a 9 year old rap sensation. Loads of obviously phony parts in it.

State of Play: a phenominal movie (easily in my top 10 for the year) with one hell of a plot that kept me on the edge of my seat throughout. Definitely keeps you guessing for the entire 2 hours. For the most part, very good acting (Rachel McAdams, while beautiful, was the only questionable cast member). Affleck, Crowe, and Mirren were all good, and Jason Bateman had a few awesome scenes. If you love smart, political thrillers like Michael Clayton, you'll love this.

surrogates -   better than i expected, again worth a gander

in bruges -  was billed as funny and action packed,  which is was neither but still an alright divergence

gosford park -  never really held my interest but a good cast

eastern promises -  pretty damn swell,  go ahead and steal it

chocolat -  seems like a lame heartwarmer,  which it basically is, but still my heart is now warm and it feels good

I saw Paranormal Activity the other night.  While it certainly wasn't as scary as everyone is saying it is, it was still a very well made film.  It uses the less is more concept, never truly showing you too much and slowly building up the suspense as the movie progresses.  If anything, it was a sign of things to come for the talented director.

I do have to say that Saw 6 was better than Saw 5, though none of the sequels will ever compare to the first so they should just quit now.

On a side note Zombieland was awesome.

like i really hate that kid,  i would seriously set him fire if i ever saw him

adventureland also couldve been a quality flick,  but jesse fucked it all up

so I watched Trick 'r Treat on Saturday and I liked it. the movie in itself wasn't very good - the stories weren't very well told and I didn't really get the point of the movie until I read the synopsis of it afterwards. the different stories were getting way too little time to be told and nothing ever really got anywhere and it felt like the movie was over before it even started. so judged on that alon, the movie wasn't good, not even entertaining.

it wasn't very scary either. the only part that was kinda creepy was Sam, especially when you saw his face. the rest was so incredibly predictable and cliché.

so, what did I like? the atmosphere was awesome. and so was the camerawork, the effects and the picture. I can honestly say this is one of the best looking movies I have ever seen. it was beautiful. eventhough I didn't even enjoy the storylines very much, I didn't want to stop watching and I was sad when it ended because I just didn't want to leave that wonderful little place the movie put me in.

The Spirit - not really atrocious, like I've heard from everyone. But I didn't really take it as a serious movie. Highlights include the usual Samuel L. Jackson acting, Eva Mendes' butt, about 100 clones of Donkey Lips, and the cheezy 1940's-like dialogue.

Brothers was pretty good. Not your typical melodrama, though it stayed true to a lot of those conventions. Tobey Maguire (i´m actually not a fan) did an awesome job. All the acting, now that i think about it, was great. It was missing something from making it a great movie. Otherwise I would have put it in the "Best of 2009" topic. Still a good film to see and make you think about what's going on with troops coming home from war.

I just got finished watching Candy. It was depressing. Not just because it was about drug addiction, but the fact that the world will no longer see Heath Ledger act.

I enjoyed it, to a certain extent. There were points where it got really heavy, and then certain points where I zoned out. I can't really pinpoint where it went wrong, but there were so many moments that were right, I'm wiling to forgive the low points of the film.

the book is very well written.

a lot of things about candy annoyed me even though i enjoyed the film. abbie cornish slipped under my radar in 'somersault'. i thought she did okay there but with candy, i just realised she absolutely does nothing for me. she was in a television movie called 'marking time' on the abc. she was ok in that too. i saw the preview for bright star when i went to see where the wild things are and my friend and i were cringing the whole time.

you should watch 'last train to freo'. it has tom budge in it. he played schumann in candy. i really like tom budge.

I just got finished with watching xx/xy. There was something really off with it. I think it was the fact that I didn't really give a shit about the characters. I thought they were all assholes and bitches and really wanted nothing to do with them after the first ten minutes. It was like YPF, that sex changes a relationship. However, in YPF you cared about the people involved. In xx/xy, you hope they are miserable because they seem like such horrible people.

Just got finished watching The International, and I'm glad I didn't waste 11 bucks to see it in theaters. Tom Tykwer is a great director, and Naomi Watts and Clive Owen are great actors, but it felt as if the plot got lost or just muddled in translation. Nothing in there really wanted me to care. It's good as far as thrillers go, but I wouldn't say much else about it.

I saw The Girlfriend Experience  last night. I liked how simple it was, yet intelligent and chic. This could have easily gone all wrong putting a porn star in this film, but it didn't. I don't think the film would have gotten it's point across without Sasha Grey. I'm not saying she was Oscar worthy, but I do think she brought a certain sophistication to the film that I'm not sure any other actress could have done.

what?! he was pretty funny, but at first I absolutley hated him. overall, the acting was pretty bad in that movie. I almost turned it off after the first 5-10 minutes because I was almost certain it would suck. however, it ended up being of the the funniest movies I've seen in recent years. but I can't say it was thanks to Zach.

Yeah the Pineapple didn't fuck around. But then I'm a BIG Seth Rogen fan. I could watch him watch tv and think it's comedic genius.
Speaking of Galifianakis, anyone seeing in Youth in Revolt? I get sick of Michael Cera, but the combo of Zach, Steve Buscemi, Fred Willard, and Ray Liotta sounds really awesome.

He was pretty good in Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist, though. I liked that movie quite a lot. Kinda underrated movie.

Michael Cera, Seth Rogen, Jonah Hill. All these dudes star in every big comedy released nowadays but I think they're mediocre at best. But then again, I'm the one waiting on a Naked Gun Part 44¼.

I just saw that earlier this evening. I liked it and would recommend it, but it is kind of an odd movie. Definitely not a mainstream movie for the Twilight crowd (thank fucking god), as they definitely bring the blood and gore. But not really a horror movie either. The story is trying to be pretty deep, and they do take the vampire genre in a different and original direction. So I really give it credit for that. Not as good as 30 Days of Night, but better than Underworld.

Also, it's done by the brothers who made Undead, which is a pretty awesome zombie flick, and you can see some similarities between that and Daybreakers (mainly Dafoe's kickass shotgun-crossbow and good one-liners).

yeah, he's actually a really big hit here. and that's really funny because my first thought when I saw her name was "maybe they're related... nah, that's probably a common name in Norway". what do you know, what do you know...

Most recent movies I've seen:

Slumdog Millionaire - I enjoyed it but I honestly don't know why it got any Oscar noms at all, let alone wins.  Many parts of the movie just seemed like a simplified version of the far superior City of God set in India.  That being said, I feel like the best part of the movie was the acting.  Everyone was pretty damn good in their parts.  Also, I'm a fan of Danny Boyle's but this really wasn't one of this best either.  I mean entertaining movie to watch but I don't believe it deserved the accolades it got.

The Brothers Bloom - Now this is a movie I really liked.  This movie oozes with style.  I don't think I have really cared too much about the wardrobe in a movie but I swear the fashion of the main characters in this movie was amazing.  For nearly half the movie I just wanted to see what they would wear next because they had such unique fashion styles.  I'm too lazy to write more about it but I thoroughly enjoyed this movie.  I enjoyed it so much that I went out and picked up Rian Johnson's Brick.  I have heard great things about that one and look forward to watching that soon as well as seeing what he has in store for the future.

Oh yeah, he has an extremely brief cameo in Brothers Bloom.  He's in the shot for maybe a second as the camera pans a room with a bunch of people.  I found it to be funny.  Anyway I definitely recommend Brothers Bloom.   I've read that some people complain with the quirkiness in the movie or whatever but I enjoyed it.  It's just a very enjoyable movie I might be watching again soon.

I had been getting tired of Michael Cera, but he was great in this, as was everyone else in it. Galifianakis was pretty good, but his character was the only one I probably could have done without. But overall it was a very well written, well-acted story with witty and subtle humor that I adored.

I saw Funny Games last night (2007 re-make), and it was one of those films that kept you thinking long after it was over. I also was scared shitless and didn't want to go to bed right after seeing it. I have heard a lot of complaints about it being too violent, but I think it needed to be violent in order to get its point across. This film truly depicts how violence plays a big part in our society. The MPAA rates harder on sex than violence. It did a great job of creeping me out, and getting its message across.

I put the original version on my Netflix, so I'll give my review of that in a few days. I'm imagining the '97 version being a hell of a lot creepier, which is a good thing for me.

I just got finished watching Little Ashes. I don't know too much about Salvador Dalí's history, so I guess it gave me some history of him (All I know is I love his art). I zoned out of the film quite a few times, but I have to say I did see acting potential in Robert Pattinson. He didn't do a mind blowing performance, but he did prove that in a few years he can hone his talent. Well, just as long as he picks good roles.

I just watched In Bruges tonight.  Was it just me or does that movie go by extremely fast?  What felt like 30 minutes to me was the entire length of the movie.  It was very brisk and quite good.  Though I loathe the term 'dramedy', the movie was I guess what you would call a black dramedy.  Ridiculously good performance by Colin Farrel.  The dude can act.  Great story.

I just watched In Bruges tonight.  Was it just me or does that movie go by extremely fast?  What felt like 30 minutes to me was the entire length of the movie.  It was very brisk and quite good.  Though I loathe the term 'dramedy', the movie was I guess what you would call a black dramedy.  Ridiculously good performance by Colin Farrel.  The dude can act.  Great story. Very real characters.  And some extremely funny scenes.  I'll probably be watching it again in teh future.
agreed completely. i loved the midget.

not really the same type of movie, but you should check out In The Loop. It came out on dvd a couple weeks ago and does an interesting comedic take on war. It has a dark, British-style humor to it that for some reason reminded me of In Bruges. Coincidentally, it just got nominated for a screenplay Oscar (which In Bruges won last year)

In Bruges didn't win it.  It was nominated though. Anyway, funny you mention In The Loop.  I heard it's pretty good and I've heard the comparison to In Bruges before.  One website said it's probably the filthiest, dirtiest script to ever be nominated for an Academy Award.  That right there has me interested in it.

Angels in America

Well, this movie (miniseries.. eh?) was something absolutely different I could ever expect. First of all, I loved how theatrical it was, with all the perfect dialogues and conversations with words worth gold. Cinematography (as well as the characters in second half of the movie) was just sublime, magical. Characters were mostly intriguing, broken and "alive". The only thing I disliked in this movie is that it is 70% based on homosexuality. No, it's not like that there is a homosexual character and you explore things about him different than the sexual preference, but the movie was actually built on homosexuality (if I'm right, almost every male character in this movie was an open or a closeted homosexual), and not in a way that I liked. But anyway, it was also based on sickness/disease and psychosis/substance abuse, which made it really interesting. So, generally, this movie was really good with the play-like interactions and kinda depressing stories of people, but the gayness (imagine the funeral of a drag queen with hundreds of drag queens in the church - it was a bit humorous, but not my cup of tea, yeaaaaah) kinda killed the whole potential of the movie. 8/10
anyway, a definite recommendation for anyone with a mind open enough.

the whole thing is about homosexuality though hahaha what were you expecting? it's a gay fantasia. i personally loved it. it left me feeling the way i felt after the first time i watched philadelphia: content. i wish i had the chance to see it on broadway.

I FINALLY got around to watching The Hurt Locker last night. I'm not keen on war films, but I gotta say I liked this one a lot. It was present, intense, and the ending kept me thinking. I will seriously throw something at the TV if Kathryn Bigelow loses the Best Director nod. I think this is the closest a woman has ever come to winning an Oscar for Best Director, and I'm really excited.

not sure about the in the loop/in bruges comparison,  but both are definetly worthy flix

in the loop is more like "the office" (british original) but really good dialog and a very clever skewering of the modern politcal machine. 

Also i dont see how the "filthiest, dirtiest script" comment applies to either movie, because neither are what i would call filthy or dirty

So I watched the original version of Funny Games last night, and even though both films are scene-by-scene the same, somehow the '97 version felt more brutal. I think that maybe the German family may have been more naïve than the American family. In the American version, you get the sense that they're a little more cautious than the German family, especially Naomi Watts' character. And looking back on it, in the American version Tim Roth could have done a better job in the acting department. I felt more of the father's pain in the German version.

just finished watching Inglorious Basterds, great movie, it definitely lived up to the hype. I was a bit disappointed with Brad Pitts acting and his role - I thought he would have a much more important role, and I thought his acting would be more more "out there", judging from what I've read and heard. still, he was very good.

Brad Pitt was funny (the "Italien" scene had me in stitches), but my favorite characters were definitely Shosanna and Hans Landa.

Christoph Waltz put on an amazing performance. I hope he win Best Supporting Actor.

I agree on every point here. Hans Landa was so creepy, yet kind of likeable. and Shosanna was just plain awesome (and hot).

as for Brad Pitt, while for example that scene was funny, I was sad to see all he got wad a few funny lines every now and then and he delivered all of them in the exact same way.

I saw Fur the other day. I knew a little bit about Diane Arbus' work, but not much and I still didn't know a lot about her work after watching this film. I will say Robert Downey Jr. can still charm the pants off me even with a face completely covered with hair. Overall, the film fell flat and I wasn't impressed. I always figured Diane Arbus as being a very interesting woman since her works were interesting. I think there is more to her than just her fascination with people who don't fit into the norm of society. I wished they explored that a little bit more.

daybreakers was alright. willem dafoe was kind of annoying in it though, which is strange because i usually like him a lot. i thought the whole basis of the cure was smart. simple and smart.

quarantine kept me captivated so bad. i had to pause it a few times because it was just too much for me to stomach. i thought of how horrible it would be for something like that was to happen to any one of us. the government's response was fucked up as hell. also jennifer carpenter can't act that well.

Ok, first off let me say I love Nicole Kidman and she's got some great acting chops. However, she didn't impress me in this film. I actually thought she was annoying in the film. I felt horrible for her husband and daughters, and maybe Arbus was really like that when it came to her photography. Her acting job felt a little melodramatic, and faded in this film rather than popping out. Robert Downey Jr. definitely out shined her.

The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus

Shit. Why they even continued making this movie when Ledger died in the middle of the shooting is beyond me. It's obvious Terry Gilliam had no idea what to do with the script so he put a bunch of annoying random shit in it. Thank god for that one minute of Johnny Depp.

So I watched Bolt a few days ago and it sucked so I wanted to see a good animated film so I saw Toy Story 2 and Up today so that kind of restored my faith that there's still good stuff amongst piles of ass.

the movie isn't based on the real diane arbus. it was based on a biography that patricia bosworth wrote on arbus, but as far as i know, it's only slightly accurate and the rest is just imagined. most artists once they're drawn into their work and practice become withdrawn and selfish because that is what they have to do to work. i'm not really impressed with nicole kidman at all. the hours was alright. i actually really dislike photography movies, as strange as that sounds.

I figured it was mostly fiction since a lot of it had some weird imagery. I don't know why they went down Artsy Road. It would have been better off if they just stuck her life and dramatized some parts. It didn't help the film any.

As far as making films about artists or musicians, it never really delivers. I think part of it is (At least for me), I have an idealized vision of them when in fact they're the complete opposite of what I see them as. It's a "love the art, not the artist" kind of thing. I've been looking at art extensively the past two and a half years, and you would think I would be able to separate the two by now.

I thought Nicole Kidman was great in The Hours. I also loved her in Eyes Wide Shut.

I was completely surprised how the movie had its "happy" moments and was totally different to a thriller-type-movie that I expected. The acting was lovely, and I just loved "the Inbetween", even though the visual effects weren't top notch or something, it was REALLY visually pleasing. All in all, best movie I've seen in weeks.

Saw a few more movies over the past few days.

The Narrows - the only thing worth mentioning is the fact that Vincent D'Onofrio is in it. It wasn't his best performance, but I love his presence on the screen so much that I really can't say anything bad about the man.

The Cake Eaters - It was better than I anticipated, but nothing too great. Essentially it's just your typical small budget indie film about love and loss. Nothing new or interesting.

Grande École - This film felt like it wanted to be interesting, but just didn't make it. I was able to watch it from beginning to end, but when it came down to it I just didn't give a damn about the characters.

Title: Re: The movie topic
Post by: chick de la lynch on Feb 23, 2010, 03:10 AM
Watched a few films over the past few days.

17 Again - Please don't ask why I watched this film. The only good thing I can say about this film is Leslie Mann. Everything else was shit, not to mention creepier than hell. What is funny about a daughter trying to bag the younger version of her father? Incest is just not right.

Mariam is going to be happy with this one: Disco Pigs. I was awfully delighted to see it as an Instant Play on my Netflix queue. It took me a while to get into the heavy Irish accent thing, but once I did I thoroughly enjoyed this film. Not to mention Cillian Murphy was just beautiful. I did think that the characters were bratty, but you felt a little bad for them. Everyone wants a close relationship like Pig and Runt's, but it just got to a point where it was debilitating. Oh and Marky looked exactly like the guy I lost my virginity too minus the Irish accent. It was scary how similar they looked.

I also so How To Be. I just watched this because I was procrastinating on doing my homework last night. It was unconventional, but not in a good way. I think it tried to be out there, and got lost along the way. I will say this again though, Robert Pattinson does have some acting talent. As of right now, he's just not picking out the right roles.
Title: Re: The movie topic
Post by: blixa on Feb 23, 2010, 06:05 AM
disco pigs=great ending. i can never stop saying how great this film is. i didn't have much trouble with the accents. if you get the chance watch ken loach's 'sweet sixteen.' that is a very difficult movie to understand but it's so rewarding. great film. much of the same dreariness in disco pigs.
Title: Re: The movie topic
Post by: chick de la lynch on Feb 24, 2010, 03:52 AM
I don't watch too many films from the UK, so I'm not acquainted with the accents. If I watch more, I think it would be easier to get into them.

I saw On The Edge last night -- yes, another Cillian Murphy film. I enjoyed it, but I wish that it was a little bit longer. I really cared for the characters and wanted to know more about them.
Title: Re: The movie topic
Post by: chick de la lynch on Feb 27, 2010, 06:59 AM
I saw a few more films in the past couple of days.

Brief Interviews with Hideous Men - I'm not familiar with David Foster Wallace and only know about him because my brother read a few books by him. However, I do understand his writing is very complex and has multiple layers to it. I think this film was headed toward that direction, but couldn't really be that complex. I think John Krasinski was a little too ambitious for his directorial debut, but I thought it did show promise if he ever wants to continue directing films. John Krasinski, Max Manghella and Christopher Meloni were the standouts of the film. Too bad each of them had ten minutes of screen time.

Lila Says - I can't say I was fond of this film, however I was happy that Chimo and Lila never had sex. I think it would have made the film less watchable. These characters are interesting, yet we know very little about it. It also goes to show that a woman can be open about sex yet not be promiscuous all at the same time.

Downloading Nancy - I think "garbage" is a good word for this film. I didn't have a problem with the subject matter as much as I had a problem with the characters. They're not even likable people! All I saw them as were demented, pathetic people. No matter how fucked up a character is, you shouldn't really hate them. I hated these people. That, and I think it really tried to be artsy fartsy and deranged all at the same time. I think this film should have stuck with one of those, rather than both. It was just a hot mess.

I saw a few more films over the weekend, but what else is new?

Sex is Comedy - I have seen Catherine Breillat's films in the past, and the one thing that bothers me about her films is when she tries to write dialogue that everyday people just don't talk about. Unless France has an unusual amount of intellectuals, I'm not buying it. Her films are better when she keeps it simple and doesn't try to psychoanalyze everything. At least when Woody Allen does it, it's funny (For the most part). Overall, I think this is one of her lighter films and it's refreshing to see a film about the other side of the camera.

We Don't Live Here Anymore - I really didn't care for the storyline. It was predictable and I got bored with it. However, you had four strong actors playing these roles, which was interesting. The writer lucked out on this one with having a great cast. Otherwise, this film would have been up shit creek.

Yup. Great, great movie.

I personally think Inglourious Basterds should've won, but The Hurt Locker definitely deserved it too.

I'm just glad that Avatar didn't win Best Director or Best Picture.

Uh, Sofia Coppola for Lost In Translation? I thought she was pretty damn worthy of an Academy Award for Best Director. And it's woman.

So I saw a couple of films recently. I was really shocked to see Anti-Christ as an instant play on my Netflix queue so I opted to see it. To be honest, it's still sinking in. I can understand why a lot of people considered this film misogynist but I don't agree. To be honest, I still don't really know what happened in the film. It's a lot to absorb in one sitting and I would probably have to watch it again to really get the film. The ending gets creepy/gross. I spent a good chunk of the film covering my eyes, which I haven't done too much in the past seven years or so.

New York, I Love You was meh. Paris, Je T'aime had a lot of character to it and I thought was well written. New York... not so much. I think they tried to make something visually interesting, which it was. It was just a bummer that they couldn't make some of the plots just as interesting.

for once, I was completely satisfied with the Oscar results, well Sandra Bullock as the best actress can eat my ass but whatever. Glad the Dude finally won, and everything that deserved to win, won.

and I saw Up In the Air last night. It was very good, deserving of its nomination, but by no means the best of 2009. as far as romantic-comedies go this has to be one of the best I've seen. Clooney was awesome, and fucking Danny McBride was in it! FUCK YES! oh yeah and Zach Galifianakis too.

i watched a few films so here it goes.

how harry became a tree was weird as shit. oh my gosh, colm meaney just sits so endearingly in my chest. i thought the character of eileen was a bit of an idiot. if you're being seduced and you love your husband, you push that man away. kick him in the balls! especially if your husband is a very shy, young cillian murphy. hello!!!

broken flowers was vintage jarmusch and murray. it was an awesome road trip movie. i couldn't wait to see what his next stop was going to be. it was so hilarious and always unpredictable. the ending really got me, completely.

ten empty was an exhausting film. it took so much from me emotionally and gave me nothing back. it was just so very intense and i felt heavily empty. kind of like when you let something/someone take it all from you and the emptiness that is left in you is just a presence of an unexplainable heaviness. i have never seen a movie with such brilliant acting though. completely australiana.

Post by: chick de la lynch on Mar 20, 2010, 08:28 AM
I've been on a bit of a film spree the past few days. This is what happens when I have nothing to do during the day.

The Ugly Truth - I don't know why I watched this movie. It's seriously a question I have been asking myself since last night, and I have yet to find an answer. It's your typical romantic/sex comedy. Everything was predictable and nothing about the film was new or fresh -- I'm not surprised or shocked by that, but it would be nice if these romantic comedies could at least get a different formula.

The Story of O - This film was probably worse than The Ugly Truth and that's saying a lot! If anything, this film was degrading. I understand that there are women out there (and men) who are very much into sadomasochism, but the way it's portrayed in this movie is appalling. I know it's based off a novel, and maybe I missed the whole point of the film. Or maybe the book. But I know for a fact that this film was complete misogyny.

En la Cama - I was surprised how much I enjoyed this film. It is such a simple yet complex plot. I think a lot of people could relate to this film and how interesting and awkward a one-night stand can be. The actors were interesting to watch, the dialogue between these two characters was intriguing. The way these two people interact, you forget that they have known each other about as long as the viewer has known the characters. It's worth the watch.

Water Lilies - Netflix recommended this film to me, yet I did not like it too much. Your typical coming of age story with lesbian overtones. I think this film could have gone to more interesting places.

In The Realm of the Senses -  I had no idea this film was based on a real crime committed in Japan until the end of the film (Which was something I was not prepared to see!) Overall, I felt that the film had a flow to it. Usually unsimulated sex in a film can either enhance it or just spell out disaster. Now knowing the back story to this crime, I felt that it was necessary to have unsimulated sex in it. In fact, it felt organic when it happened, not forced. And there was a plot! I think The Story of O could have borrowed a thing or two from this film and how to shoot s and m in a tasteful way.

Glad I'm not the only one. I watched a few more films this weekend.

Best in Show - My first Christopher Guest film. I probably should have started out with This is Spinal Tap but here we are! I must say I didn't "laugh out loud" when watching this movie, but I did find it funny. And I'm a sucker for dogs. Overall I felt that the film was good. I will have to check out Spinal Tap.

Taxi Driver -  I can finally say I have seen this film! It wasn't what I expected, but that's a good thing. The things I had heard about this film being ultra violent made me hesitant to watch this, but the real violence doesn't start until the last twenty minutes of the film. I thought it was beautifully shot (Yes, it was beautiful!) and Robert de Niro's performance was effortless. He made acting look really easy in this film just by having a certain expression on his face or a raise of an eyebrow, however he scared the living shit out of me during the second part of the film. I never knew he was a handsome man until I saw this film. I'm just acquainted with the older version of Robert de Niro -- shows just how young I am.

Remember Me - blah, blah, blah say what you will, but I actually enjoyed watching this film. Emilie de Ravin and Robert Pattinson had good chemistry and the plot overall was watchable. I still don't know if Pattinson choosing this Edward Cullen role was a good thing or a bad thing. It does put him on the map, but his acting talent is overpowered by this Twilight craze that has invaded every woman between the ages of 14-25. Maybe it'll pay off in the end...

Watched two of Tommy Wirkola's movies recently and enjoyed both of them very much.

Kill Buljo (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0913401/), a parody obviously, is as bad as it's funny. The acting, the dialogue and every "professional aspect" were terrible but that fact probably added the funniness. Definite laughter-fest!

Dead Snow (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1278340/) is probably the best zombie flick I've seen in a while. The base story (group of young people in a cabin gets attacked by zombies) is done zillion times and it's filled with cliches but this movie was entertaining, bit scary, funny and somehow new and fresh.
Title: Re: The movie topic

lol, i seriously just saw Dead Snow this weekend, my buddy went on a spending spree of nazi zombie flicks, and we had a triple feature of Dead Snow, Outpost, and Shock Waves.

all 3 were ridiculous. all 3 ridiculously entertaining. but goddamn, Dead Snow took the cake, that movie was so good.

the book left me in an emotional ruin. i read it on public transport too so i had to pretend that i was having allergies everytime i started crying on the train. it got ridiculous after a while because i found that the same people that had seen me cry the day before were the same people that were seeing me cry again the next day.

there were a lot of unexplained events in the movie such as the ending, which i knew was going to happen, and a few other tihngs. it was beautiful as hell though. john hillcoat is a talented man.

Bill Nighy can make the shittiest movies seem alright. for example, Love Actually.

But not Pirates 3. no one could possibly save that movie. not even The Dude himself.

Revolutionary Road

Pretty depressing, but great, great acting.

Quote"Don't worry, I can't be bothered! You're not worth the trouble it would take to hit you! You're not worth the powder it would take to blow you up. You are an empty, empty, hollow shell of a woman. I mean, what the hell are you doing in my house if you hate me so much? Why the hell are you married to me? What the hell are you doing carrying my child? I mean, why didn't you just get rid of it when you had the chance? Because listen to me, listen to me, I got news for you - I wish to God that you had! "

The way Dicaprio brought that was amazing.

watched it this weekend, really good film, i need to get hold of the book(s)? it's based on because apparently although the films good it isn't as raw as what it's based on

I didn't really think there was any point to it. Also, if I didn't already know I'd never would've guessed that the Coen's made this. It had none of their trademarks.

I wonder if it's easier to "get" it if you're Jewish.

totally agree. it was one of my favourites for a while but yer, the acting was so bad it was funny which it made the movie even more entertaining...for me anyway.

wasn't epic or anything but it really got me sinking into my seat. i got quite emotional in some bits too.

I saw a few films over my spring break.

Sherlock Holmes -  I was expecting this to be a lot better than what it was. Robert Downey Jr. saved the film, but Guy Ritchie is a blow 'em up film director and I guess it is a different take on the original story, but it doesn't mean it's better or interesting. This is the first film I have seen by him, but I'm going to take a leap and assume plot and story are not his strong suits. It probably works for most of his films, but for a movie dedicated to one of the most popular detectives, you want SOME plot in it!

Gran Torrino - Great film. However I thought the punks in this film were stupid for messing with Clint Eastwood. The guy may be up in age, but he's still a frightening mother fucker. I also thought that at certain points this film was touching, and randomly funny.

Clash of the Titans - I mentioned this in the "Clash of the Titans" thread, but it bears repeating. Greek mythology has a lot going on -- sex, violence, incest, murder, jealousy. The Gods were supposed to be at the utmost perfection, yet they act like humans. That is interesting. You don't need to dumb it down by putting a shit load of action in it. I have yet to see the original, but it's probably a lot better than this one.

i'd still watch it if i were, you let me know what you think. If you're hoping for superbad meets superheroes you will get what you paid for, but it's not been pulled off very well, just seems as if it's trying too hard. Nicholas Cage is good though.

Funny People.

Wow, I'm absolutely baffled by all the negativity this movie has been getting.

I fucking loved it. The comedy and drama worked perfectly. Everyone were great and I was especially fond of Jonah Hill's more subtle performance. It was a nice change from his usual foul-mouthed, loud-mouthed roles.

Judd Apatow is really progressing into a fantastic director and you could feel how much he had put into this movie. Definitely his most mature and personal flick to date. The 2hour3min runtime flew by and I wasn't bored once.

I can't think of anything I didn't like, so therefore:

10/10

i saw that again recently, and i agree man, I don't get the haters out there. granted, it wasn't the funniest Apatow movie, but it was a comedy with emotion, and had GREAT writing and acting. i'd probably give it 9/10.

I agree. I think there are some kinks still, but I think it's showing Apatow's potential. I think the reason why it got negativity was because people were expecting the usual foul mouthed comedy, and instead they got more drama than what they wanted. I personally thought it was great, but it's not a film I would watch repeatedly.

Yeah I definitely think his performance in Kick-Ass was better than his performance in Bad Lieutenant.  I mean in that movie he was just playing to his strengths which is act totally insane but in Kick Ass he was instead this quirky character with not enough screen time.  I honestly wish he and Hit Girl were the main characters of the movie.

I watched Man with The Movie Camera and The Bicycle Thief.

The Man With The Movie Camera was epic, even though it was just a little over an hour. I think the score really made the film what it was. The comparisons between Soviet society and machinery was great, and it's truly a film you can really get sucked into. Brilliant.

The Bicycle Thief was also terrific. Just when you think this guy can't have anything worse happen to him, it does. Truly depressing, but it was beautifully done.

when paddy won the bafta for his short film dog altogether, he thanked his wife "shane meadows". he's made references to shane being his wife several times. it's a gag because they are awfully close. they're basically brothers.

And the chemistry between Marcus and Will was fantastic, and made for some ridiculously humorous scenes together. Overall, it's the kind of film that makes you feel good, and is definitely something worth seeing.

Oh, thank God! I'm not the only one who thinks this. He was great in How To Be, Little Ashes and Remember Me. The guy knows how to act, but maybe he's forced to act super shitty in the Twilight franchise. He really shouldn't have gotten himself involved with that.

and he's actually good-looking. he's absolutely horrible looking in twilight. making him that pale accentuates the fact that he has a very flat face.

maybe he can redeem himself from playing edward...i mean, he's not even a kick arse vampire or anything.

Very true. I love pale, but not deathly pale. He looks too much like a girl in that series --  it's creepy!

I saw Whatever Works and Happy Campers this weekend.

Whatever Works was good, but I always seem to have a problem whenever Woody Allen makes everyone who doesn't hail from New York into a) someone who is shallow b) someone who is stupid or c) all of the above. I guess it irked me a bit that he made these people from the South into  "inchworms" who knew no good. Stereotypes can be funny, but when Woody Allen does it it just leaves a really bad taste in your mouth. You know he's an elitist, and after watching this movie I came to the realization that I'm some what of an elitist, too. But I get the feeling he's just rubbing our faces into it. Otherwise, I enjoyed the film.

Happy Campers I felt was trying to be touching and playing up teenage angst. It wanted to be both so desperately, but managed to just be one thing -- mediocre. It just reminded me how great of an actor Brad Renfro was, and it's shame he never got recognized for his talents.

Haha, oh I sooooo get it.  ;)

Woody Allen's films suit a certain type of personality, so yes I do get not everyone is going to like them and that's okay. But to compare Woody Allen to Futurama is comparing two different types of comedy (Not saying that Futurama isn't funny because it is), but there is a huge difference between the two.

i liked annie hall. i related. i use coalface soap. a lot of people commonly agree that annie hall is one of allen's finest moments but i feel like there is a lack of discussion on what makes this film great. i've really just felt unsatisfied after watching his films.

plus i dislike scarlett johansson intensely so there is no way i'm sitting through another film with her in it. ghost world is all i can stand her in.

oh yeah, that too. i think it was because it wasn't another movie where her looks got overly exploited. a lot of the time i feel like she's there because of her looks and i don't like that i think about it like that but i can't help it. she's not particularly spectacular as an actress.

and i only watched that film because of cillian murphy:

A Nightmare On Elm Street (2010) - 2.5/10. i enjoyed the friday the 13th reboot but this was just... bad.

Hulk Vs. Thor - 6.8/10 i always enjoy these animated comic book flicks since i'm such a comic nerd in the first place. not the best one every but certainly not the worst. naturally the Hulk Vs. Wolverine was more entertaining of the two but either one is good to put on once in a while if you enjoy comic books or just plain indulging in some easy to watch, kid friendly, animated action film.
Title: Re: The movie topic
Post by: chick de la lynch on May 06, 2010, 03:00 AM
I would have to agree with you on that one. I think the past five years the roles she has picked are purely based on the fact that she's pretty. I wouldn't mind if the roles she actually picked out were good, but they're not. It just seems like these days she just doesn't even try to act anymore--she's coasting at this point.
Title: Re: The movie topic
Post by: blixa on May 06, 2010, 04:50 AM
i think that's why i don't particularly like conventionally beautiful actresses. i know they can't help looking pretty but you just know that it will be something that movie critics and movie goers will keep talking about. you have actors like sarah polley, parker posey, and emily watson who are remarkable actresses. i've never felt like the way they look has been stronger than their acting and they've picked roles in which they got to show their acting skills as opposed to just being something pretty to look at.

samantha morton as well. she's incredibly beautiful but when i'm watching her movies i'm not thinking that. liv tyler has the same problem as scarlett. i think they should start picking better roles. although i heard that she might play courtney love in a kurt cobain biopic. that is just so far off court but if it happens lets see what she'll do with it. i did like her album. i know, shocking!

Watchmen - 6/10: enjoyable movie with some really cool characters and scenes. but it dragged on for too long and the story was a bit all over the place. it would've been fine if they gave the movie a more epic feel, but it never got much further than personal drama between the main characters. and I will always consider super hero movies a tad bit too silly, even those that try to be different.

Carnage (LOW budget horror from 1984) - 1 out of 10. provided plenty of jokes and had some of the all time worst kill scenes i've ever seen in a movie in my entire life. HORRIBLE acting, HORRIBLE cinematography, HORRIBLE sound, HORRIBLE special effects and HILARIOUS consequences. this movie physically hurt me at some points because of how bad it was but at a few other points it physically hurt me out of laughter. keep in mind i was about 8 beers deep when i watched this with a couple friends. warning DO NOT WATCH ALONE! not because you'll be scared but because if you don't have anyone to make fun of it with you just might kill yourself at how bad it is. they obviously did no blocking in this movie and the camera makes confusing 180 degree angle switches. the whole thing is available on youtube right here...

I like number 4 even more than number 2. More fun imo. Nothing beats the original though. Absolutely terrifying and an unparalleled atmosphere.

I saw Up in The Air and The Machinist recently.

I enjoyed Up in The Air, however there were a few times when I was watching the movie I felt it was getting too gimicky but it was pretty easy to get past. George Clooney is like a fine and only gets better with age (Both with acting and physical appearance). I'm glad the film ended the way it did--if it had gone down a predictable path it wouldn't have been such a great film. I also enjoy films that are open-ended. Gives the viewer a chance to reflect on the movie.

The Machinist made me uncomfortable, but in a good way if that makes any sense. I can't say I would watch this film again, because it's a bit hard to watch (More for Trevor's insanity rather than some of the gross scenes) but I do think it's well made and gets philosophical.

It was obvious it didn't have a real script. Ripley was the only interesting character, the rest was underdeveloped alien meat. Don't get me wrong, I love the atmosphere and the setting as well but it just lead to nowhere. It fell flat on its ass after the first 45 minutes and it never recovered. The ending is so cringe worthy. Thank god they booted her back up for number 4.

So I've seen a couple of good films this weekend.

Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? - At first I actually thought this movie was about Virginia Woolf. Silly me! This was probably one of the most intense films I have ever seen. I was emotionally exhausted after I finished watching this. Nevertheless, I thought it was terrific. Within the first ten minutes of the film I already knew why Elizabeth Taylor won an Oscar for her performance. The whole movie was pure genius.

Glengarry GlenRoss - Another intense film, however this one was one big sausage fest. I still think Alec Baldwin should have gotten an award or something for his monologue. I think Kevin Spacey, Jack Lemmon and Al Pacino were really the heart of the film. Great acting, and amazing dialogue.

A Nos Amours - I wasn't too impressed with this film. I understood it was supposed to be a realist film, and overall there really was no plot. I think that's what I didn't like about it, but now I sound like your stereotypical American who doesn't want to watch a foreign film because it is way too deep to truly understand. I guess I'm just not into these types of films. The realist, that is. I still <3 foreign films.

I love this flick. The dialog is so sharp! I guess that is because it was adapted from a play. Yeah, Alec Baldwin stole the show during his cameo monologue.

I had seen parts of Monsters Inc a few years back but today I finally saw it from beginning to end.  That movie is amazing.  It's certainly top 3 material in terms of Pixar movies.  It had me crying at the end.  Damn you Pixar and your amazing storytelling abilities!

Also saw Men Who Stare At Goats.  Don't bother.

Capitalism: A Love Story

Great doco.Big fan of Michael Moore, although I will say he presents his side of the story with no rebuttal, and it's made me look into more American political history, something I otherwise wouldn't have given two hoots about tbh.

I watched Red Eye last night. I did enjoy the film, but there were certain parts where it got annoying. The conversation between Lisa and Jackson is just too obvious (When Jackson says he doesn't go by "Jack" because his last name resembles too much of Jack the Ripper) and it also got a little cheesy. I forgave the latter part because I have had conversations like that with men I barely knew (I'm horrible at flirting). Rachel McAdams is not that great of an actress, and she made the movie unbearable to watch during certain moments. Cillian Murphy knows how to act though. I felt his creepiness through the screen and that was scary. I don't think Cillian Murphy can do a bad job even if he tried.

Haha, I remember thinking something like that while I was watching the movie.

I saw another Cillian Murphy film tonight -- Watching the Detectives. I think a film about a film geek could have been a hell of a lot more geekier. I'm a film geek myself, and the writer really should have gone all the way. If you're going to make reference to The Seventh Seal and Ingmar Bergman, then go all out. It's my favorite Bergman film, but even I can find 101 ways to make fun of that film. I think Cillian Murphy and Lucy Liu had good chemistry, but I didn't believe the fact that were romantic with each other. It felt a little forced. That, and that Lucy Liu is some manic like pixie girl. Good concept, but the writer should have gone balls to the wall with this one. Once again, Murphy can really do no wrong. I thought he was loveable in this film.

I just got finished watching (500) Days of Summer. I have to admit I was expecting more out of this film, but Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Zooey Deschanel did such a great job in this film, I pretty much forgot about the plot. They had great chemistry in Manic and they do it again with this film. I could relate to Summer's character and her views on love and I do think love is a crock. Joseph Gordon-Levitt is enigmatic and one of those actors you can't stop staring at. He's got a certain talent that not too many actors possess.

"Shinjuku Incident" starring Jackie Chan

Very good crime drama, quite un-jackie Chan movie. He's not a cop or looking for his uncle. And he doesn't do any crazy stunts. I will say it's better then his last two Hollywood movies (Karate Kid included). I definitely recommend it for any Jackie Chan fan.

I just finished watching Good Will Hunting. I think Matt Damon and Robin Williams were amazing in their roles, however I felt the movie and the plot was meh. How many films have you seen with a diamond-in-the-rough plot? It's been regurgitated over and over again and this film is no different. That doesn't mean I didn't enjoy it. It's a watchable film, but it really is overrated.

It's not your fault, Will.

Over time that movie has become a favorite of mine.  Whenever it's on tv I seem to watch it.  I think Will and Sean (especially Sean) are very interesting characters that keep you watching the movie.  Their scenes together are the best part about the movie.  They're two obviously scarred people that you want to see grow and become better people.

The "it's not your fault" scene was melodramatic, even for me and I'm a sop when it comes to that kind of stuff. But I do agree, Will and Sean's relationship was one you cared about and both of these men have had their fair share of problems in their lives. You didn't really give a shit about anyone else and essentially, the rest of the characters were background noise (Sorry Skylar)! This film reminded me how great of an actor Robin Williams is, it's just too bad he has a tendency to waste his talents on movies like Old Dogs and License to Wed.

One big problem I had with the film was the Boston accents. People say Long Island accents are annoying, but it's really the Boston accent that is utterly irritating.

Nothing with Kevin James is funny. For me that dude is kinda like Will Ferrell, cant make me laugh my ass off unlike Adam Sandler.


I saw District 9 today. It surprised me, I like the human-alien relation troughout the movie 8/10

When Danny Boyle, Alex Garland, Cillian Murphy and John Murphy make a movie together, it is awesome.  I just watched Sunshine again and this movie is really cool.  After seeing it a second time I can understand why some people don't like the last third.  It would have been interested to see where the movie would have gone had it not gone down the direction it did go.  But still, definitely one of my favorite movies.

holy shit, i second the Antje Traue hotness comment. and as a whole Pandorum was a pleasant surprise for me too. Then again I watched it right after seeing Legion, which I absolutely despised. I mean after Legion's awfulness, I was making comparisons of Pandorum to Aliens.

and speaking of films with Ben Foster, last movie i saw was The Messenger with Foster and Woody Harrelson. nothing really spectacular, but the story was pretty good and Harrelson was good for a dramatic role.

Recent movies:

Terminator Salvation 7.5/10 -  the greatness of first and second Terminator added too high expectations but it was okay. Fun action but it lacked something to get to a next level.

Gran Torino 9/10 - one of Clint's best in front and back of camera.

Valkyrie 8.5/10 - interesting and well-flowing movie. Never knew how close the history was about to be re-written and at one point I thought "wow, did they succeed?............oh, right....not!"

Prison 7/10 - ok. Viggo's a badass.

Semi-pro 6/10 - something funny here and there but that's it.

from what I've read, Edgar Wright's directing is what makes it a very good movie. His track record has been great, so I guess I should go see this soon, even though I have no background on the comics.

Clash of the Titans - visually fun, but nothing beats the classic

Fourth Kind - very eerie film, and it didn't matter if it was fake or not, the movie still was unsettling

The Box - Richard Matheson is a genius, and this was a throwback to old sci-fi stories ala Twilight Zone

The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo - 10/10 - absolutely brilliant storytelling that needs to be seen by everyone. The first of a trilogy, and I can't wait to see where it goes from here. I could see why David Fincher is remaking this for the U.S., hopefully he'll be involved with the whole series.

Yeah you are right about that. While a really fun movie, it basically was a film comprised of like a dozen ridiculous, hilarious, or gory scenes. But the pacing overall was good enough that whenever I felt like I was getting bored, we would see someone's head chopped off, hear a good one-liner, or see some Alba butt.

I was really disappointed with Machete. It felt really clumsy and unfocused (and not in a "lol it's cool because this movie is supposed to be bad" way... just really fucking painful to watch). I spent the entire movie waiting what I assumed was a very awkward buildup to finish so that I could watch all sorts of ridiculous action, but then the movie ended without even serving up an awesome act 3 massacre. There were very few funny moments that I hadn't already seen in the red band trailer


my advice: watch the trailer again and see all the awesome parts, and save yourself the cost of the movie ticket - you won't be missing anything. stick to Piranha 3D for your schlocky gore needs
Title: Re: The Movie Topic (films recently watched, general discussion, etc)
Post by: defskull on Sep 08, 2010, 08:59 PM
Yeah I thought the last action sequence was too much with absolutely no focus, which is disappointing because Robert Rodriguez has had some pretty fun 3rd act action sequences before like the one in Desperado.

I actually really wanna see this too.

Judging from the new pics of Joaquin, from the film premiere, he's all clean shaven and cut his hair and reportedly behaving normal, it's obviously a mockumentary.

supposedly there is a scene where he's sleeping and someone defecates on him. irregardless of whether it's a hoax or not, it's still captivating.

do you have the pictures? i heard he didn't walk the red carpet at the venice film festival and that he was a no-show.

I haven't watched too many films this summer simply because I just haven't been in the mood. That, and not having money has something to do with it, too (I'm one of the few losers in the world who STILL hasn't seen Inception). I discussed this with my brother earlier this evening, and realized that I haven't seen a good film in a while. It's a "dry spell" which I hope to get over really soon.

I watched Kissed last week. Necrophilia is a sensitive subject just because it's so taboo. I think the writer and director wanted to make controversy, but copped out. At times, this film was ridiculous, and with a subject like necrophilia it's really easy to make it into a cheap joke, which at times happened. We got a slight background into the character, and we knew she was fascinated with death. However, the audience never finds out how she became fascinated with death, which would lead to necrophilia. The movie should have at least spent some time on that part of the character, which I think is more interesting than her having sex with dead corpses. Overall, this film was mediocre at best. I think if you're going to deal with a controversial subject, you shouldn't be afraid to tackle it down and show something interesting. It seems as if the director was afraid to go there, and the proof is in the final product.

I didn't think I'd like it more than heat but I did. I was shitting my pants the whole time, every scene is so intense, and the acting is actually really good. Its got a couple bank heists and with each one it gets more intense, and each one has a specific mask that they wear. Each mask is so sick and makes every scene that much more memorable. You have to see it, this is coming from a person with deep appreciation for movies. If you don't like it better than heat, it well definitely come in a close second.

so several of us have hopes that Black Swan can compete with Inception for best movie this year, but Social Network is getting perfect preliminary reviews left and right and a couple top critics are calling it the best movie. Actually, Let Me In is at 100% on rotten tomatoes as well, so far.

David Fincher is great and all, but honestly The Social Network does not excite me at all. The only reason I think I'd watch it is for Andrew Garfield (a terrific actor). The plot doesn't interest me, and the trailer looks bland and boring. Critics have a tendency to overplay a film. I have a feeling this may be one of those films where the critics go on for years about it being great, but once you plop down to see it it'll be overrated and you'll be demanding your money back.

I watched Croupier last night. I got the hell scared out of me when I first saw Clive Owen with bleach blonde hair. After I got over the initial shock, the film was easy to get into. I thought it was smart, smooth and sexy. I could have done without the neo noir-ish narration, but it didn't bring down the film. This film really showcased how Owen could be subtle, yet effective. For the most part, we see Clive Owen in a film where he's a brooding man or a man out for revenge. In Croupier, he was suave and debonair, which is something we don't get to see a lot in his films these days.

a couple movies lately

Invictus - I thought I was to watch a film that was about Nelson Mandela first of all, but after half an hour of watching I realized it was basically a movie about the rugby worldcup in 1995.

Layer Cake - really ashamed about not having watched this one before. Great movie, I think Daniel Craig also qualified for playing James Bond because of this movie. I could be wrong, but it would make perfect sense.

Mean Creek - An indipendent movie without a happy end.

Gran Torino - Clint Eastwood at his best! Great movie.

Baseline - Another not so big production. Movie is pretty much about a guy who works at the door of a club and works his way up ... but if there is a way up, there is... you better watch it yourself.

I saw Savage Grace and The Young Victoria this weekend.

Savage Grace seemed to have a lot going for it, but ended up just falling apart. I usually like Julianne Moore, but this wasn't her best work. I kind of felt like she didn't really believe in this movie. The writing seemed to still be in the early stages--it was very scattered and had little to no focus attached to it. There was really nothing interesting in this film, and about twenty minutes into it I was ready to shut it off.

The Young Victoria proved to be much better. I like period pieces to a certain extent, and this film held its own. I thought Emily Blunt did a great job. She was smart, feisty, and very charming. The chemistry between Prince Albert and Queen Victoria was sweet and very believable. It might have ran a little longer than it should have, but otherwise it was a well-made movie.

I haven't seen the re-make, but I just saw the original and I strongly recommend you see it.

Let the Right One In isn't like a lot of vampire films. Apparently there are more subplots with the novel, while the movie kept it simple, which was a smart move. It really examined humanity and companionship in such an innocent and loving way. I wouldn't expect that with any vampire film, and no, Twilight does not count simply because it doesn't deal much with companionship as it delves more into a couple of 17 year old kids losing their virginity. Overall, I was impressed with the acting. To convey so much when these actors are so young is pretty damn amazing.

To be honest, I have no interest seeing the re-make. I've heard a lot of reviews saying it's pretty much the same as the original, only it takes place in the States. There was absolutely nothing wrong with the original, and I think re-making the film was just a waste of time. You don't re-make great films, unless you're planning on taking it in a different direction.

heaven heaven heaven, i liked the re-make but fuck, there were so many things i was disappointed about that i knew the american re-make was going to do. it was a complete copy of the original without the main scene that really shocked and got me. i don't know if you've read the book. if you haven't, please go to the library and borrow it even though this is a book you'd want to own. it's just that intense. the main point of the whole relationship between oskar and eli is that halfway in the film you realise something else about eli that you didn't know (her gender). i love the fact that she's so gender neutral the entire time. it just made me connect to her. i know a lot of male friends connected to her because there was just somethink about her right from the beginning that gripped everyone. in the re-make, the girl was far too girly. honestly, it did feel silly watching a re-make of a film which is above and beyond any vampire movie i've seen and which is brilliant.

i watched the movie before i read the book. i'm going to read the book again and watch the movie again. it is just so fucking aesthetically beautiful as well. it never strays, ever. it's unbelievable.

also the aesthetic quality of the re-make is a carbon copy of the original. the only reason you loved the re-make is because it does all the technical things that the original did yet the original is so much more complete. i like the foreign aspect of let the right one in also. it made me feel that much closer to it because it was so far away from my world, both physically and emotionally, but i was right there the whole time.

You bring up a good point about Eli and her gender. I read that the book delves more into her gender (I will see if my college library has a copy of the book, because now my curiosity is piqued.) What I love about the original version is the fact that sometimes you could tell she was a girl, and other times you question if whether or not she was a girl, and the fact that they just alluded to her gender made it even more intriguing. The actress who plays Eli in the re-make isn't that androgynous, so I could see how that aspect would be lost in translation, especially since I heard it is explicitly stated in the re-make.

In the original film, the ending is what really got me. It was sweet, which is something that blindsides you when you watch that scene. That scene made me believe in love again.

i watched the movie before i read the book. i'm going to read the book again and watch the movie again. it is just so fucking aesthetically beautiful as well. it never strays, ever. it's unbelievable.

You bring up a good point about Eli and her gender. I read that the book delves more into her gender (I will see if my college library has a copy of the book, because now my curiosity is piqued.) What I love about the original version is the fact that sometimes you could tell she was a girl, and other times you question if whether or not she was a girl, and the fact that they just alluded to her gender made it even more intriguing. The actress who plays Eli in the re-make isn't that androgynous, so I could see how that aspect would be lost in translation, especially since I heard it is explicitly stated in the re-make.

In the original film, the ending is what really got me. It was sweet, which is something that blindsides you when you watch that scene. That scene made me believe in love again.

i almost threw up a little when i saw 'abby'. i was a bit puzzled. there was nothing about her that said neutral gender. when i first laid eyes on eli i instantly felt it, because granted she did look like a girl, there was a big part of me that was just never sure. i got goosebumps whenever there was a scene between her and oskar. they had such a strong presence together. i think this is why it is my favourite vampire film. it had all the elements. i just love the actress that played eli in the original. after i read the book, i did feel that the original movie felt more real. let me in felt americanised, which was the point anyway, albeit a beautiful looking film all the same.

in the book the man that is with eli is a pedophile. the book is a lot more in depth about eli's history. read the book then watch the film again. it just opens the interpretation up further than you can imagine.

I saw A Single Man tonight, which was such a beautifully shot film. Colin Firth really did an excellent acting job. I could feel his heartache throughout the whole film, which at times made me cry. I'm not too familiar with Tom Ford's fashion designs, but he should definitely direct more films because this guy has a knack for it.

I didn't gain much of an insight when watching this film, but it was forgivable. This film was lush and beautiful, and with Colin Firth's amazingly honest acting, it didn't really matter that it just abruptly ended because you felt something throughout the whole thing. I'm not fond of a film with little to no context, but A Single Man is the exception to the rule.

I saw Croupier the other night and found out that Clive Owen looks surprisingly good with bleach blond hair. Other than that tidbit it was an okay movie made better by the fact that Clive Owen starred in it.  He really has this way of just making anything more interesting.

I think you're a little biased on that front because you bare a strong resemblance to him, but Clive Owen really does make movies better, so I can't argue with that statement.

The bleached hair scared me at first, but once I got used to seeing him blond I found myself quite liking it. I still prefer him with dark hair, though. I think this was his sexiest role to date, followed by Dwight in Sin City.

So because you think I look like Clive that means I'm biased in thinking that he looks good with blond hair? That doesn't make sense.

Either I wrote that wrong or you read it wrong or both. I meant to say that you think he makes films more interesting because you look like him. It was a comment/slightly sarcastic statement that went wrong.

I saw An Education yesterday, which I enjoyed a lot. Carey Mulligan was cute and charming, and I found myself giddy with excitement whenever Peter Sarsgaard came on the screen. This movie definitely reminded me of my last year in high school, and when an older man started showing interest in me. It goes to show you can be smart and clever, and still manage to act stupid around a really attractive and charming man.

Usually when men act dumb around me it's because they like me. They probably liked you, or were intimidated by your intelligence and beauty or a mix of the two.

You're hardly shit fuck boring!

I saw a couple of films this weekend. The first movie I saw was Dive, a TV movie from the UK. The main reason why I watched this was because of Jack O'Connell. He's a great actor, yet he is so young. At times, the movie got really melodramatic with the acting and music, but I actually kind of enjoyed watching it. I especially liked the fact that they just didn't focus on the pregnant girl's story, but also on the boyfriend, showing that it takes two people to get pregnant. Very interesting since you don't see that a lot in movies about teenage pregnancy.

I also saw This is England, another movie I enjoyed watching. I'm not too familiar with the skinhead culture, especially in England, so I learned a little something. However, parts of movie disturbed me quite a bit, which was okay since this film was exploring the ugly side of England. I thought the film was well put together and the actor's pulled off some rather difficult performances.

The past couple of days I guess I've been on a bit of a Clive Owen bender, and because of that I'm now in love with the man. Seriously. In LOVE!

So the first Clive film I saw was Beyond Borders. Yeah, if the film had anyone else as the main lead I probably would have shut it off within the first ten minutes. However, Clive just makes films watchable no matter how horrible they may be, and I think he actually saved this film. Well, for me. This wasn't Jolie's best acting work, and I felt she kind of just coasted through this film. Luckily she's done some great films over the past ten years you kind of just forget about her in this train wreck. If it wasn't such a cheesy love story, this film might have actually had a chance of being good. Alas, though, we cannot change the past.

The second film I saw of Clive was an old one, and I actually found it on Google videos called Close My Eyes. I've seen a few films about incest in the past, and what I find to be weird is that it doesn't feel like they're committing an act of incest until it is reminded to the audience that these people are blood related. It worked this way with this film, too. I guess it's a way to touch on a controversial issue without making it really creepy. Either way, it was great. I liked the push and pull relationship between Nathalie and Richard, and I think it kept the audience interested until the very end. Oh, and Alan Rickman is awesome, like always. And, of course, seeing Clive Owen naked was a massive plus.

Finally, after some 5 years or so sat in my collection, I plucked up the balls to watch 'Irreversible'.  Holy  fucking christ almighty.  Not a film to watch with the grandparents.

I don't think I could watch Irréversible with anyone. I think that's a movie you should just watch alone. I still consider it a favorite of mine, though.

Tis a thought provoker for sure.  I know what you mean but...it would be hard to be as relaxed with someone after having watched it with them.  I was pretty much on edge in expectation of similar tough viewing to the extinguisher scene which caught me right off guard...but then nothing can really prepare you for such a prolonged stint of Monica Bellucci abuse.  Lots of eye rubbing and heavy exhaling.

Just watched Winter's Bone, about a girl who is trying to find her meth-cooking father in the back woods of Missouri. A little slow moving, but GREAT performances all around (especially John Hawkes and Jennifer Lawrence). Plus there's squirrel gutting!

Me too, I've seen him in a lot of shit lately, which is good to see. Sheryl Lee (Laura Palmer in Twin Peaks) was also in this movie actually, albeit very briefly.

I saw Monsters, Inc. last night. Great film, and I actually was doing pretty well right up until the last fifteen minutes. That ending nearly killed me. I haven't bawled that much since I saw Up.

Pixar films bring me back to my childhood, and that's why I love their films. They makes films for kids without having to compromise integrity or intelligence.

Ive got this obsession with rekindling memories from my childhood...often however, re-viewing stuff I was mad about as a young un is not quite as effective on my now elderly (comparatively...Im not a grandpa or anything) brain.  I hadmittedly havent seen any of the pixar films...maybe Ill give em a bash.  My poor firstborn is going to have to endure a LOT of me pushing dvd boxsets of the cartoon series of Dungeons and Dragons and the Mysterious Cities of Gold as well as stuff like Eerie Indiana.  Maybe its a blessing for him/her, who knows.

I'm not sure how Pixar does when it comes to sequels, and yes, I'm one of the few losers who has yet to see Toy Story 2 and Toy Story 3, but they're on my Netflix queue! I think a Monsters, Inc. sequel could do well. Pixar manages to make stories with a lot of heart and lovable characters. I'm going to be optimistic for the time being.

And Lukas, definitely watch a Pixar film! You'll love 'em, but if you're anything like me have a box of tissues close by.

I watched a couple of films yesterday. First, I saw Roger & Me. This was Michael Moore's first documentary, so it wasn't as cohesive as his other films. However, it kept my interest and for it being so low budget, it was put together very well. But like many of Moore's films, you always have to take it with a grain of salt. I think it's great he's letting people know about the different problems with the world, but he doesn't seem to do much to change it. I guess exposing these different things is his way of doing so.

I also saw Duplicity. I think the writer/director had a vision and ran with it. However, he ran a little too far. He tried to make this film smart and complex, but ignored the romantic part of the plot. I would have believed this relationship between Claire and Ray more if these characters had evolved. You didn't know too much about these two people though, so their romance felt like it got in the way of the story. The movie was a little too ambitious, which is a shame since this film had a lot of potential.

I saw a few films this weekend. The first one I saw was Chaplin: The Movie, which structurally kind of sucked, but the acting was awesome. Robert Downey, Jr. seems to love what he does because every time he is in a film, he gives 110% to his performance. This role was no exception, and I think he did an awesome job. It was unfortunate that the script was sloppily written. I'm not too familiar with Charlie Chaplin's biography but it seemed as if there was a lot to show about his life in such a small amount of time. I think the writer and director expected the audience to make the links with the missing information, or at least they hoped the audience could make their own distinctions.

I also saw Duck Soup in its entirety. This was my first Marx Brothers film, and I couldn't help but laugh myself into unconsciousness. This film was hilarious, not to mention incredibly dirty. I'm shocked with how much Groucho Marx got away with. I guess the fact that he plays a fast-talking, smart ass works in his favor. I think my favorite scene was with Chico, Harpo and the guy at the lemonade stand. It was smart, fast paced and really goofy.

To end the night, I watched The Sea Inside, which I assumed would have made me cry. However, I was shocked that it didn't. Nevertheless, I thought it was beautifully shot and the acting was top notch.This film also had a sense of romance to it, and I actually enjoyed those bits. I'm not really into romantic films because most of the time I don't find it to be all that romantic. This film, however, was romantic and one of the few times I actually acted like a girl about it. Not to mention this film brings up some interesting points about assisted suicide.  I don't think I've seen Javier Bardem do a bad job in any role he's been in. I still think he looks like a horse, and I really don't understand why women find him attractive.

Movie is about two danish resistance fighters during WW II. It does feel more like a "gangster" movie at times instead of a movie about two national heroes, but still it's a fine movie with great actors, especially the two main characters.

breakfast on pluto, how harry became a tree, and the wind that shakes the barley are all exceptional films also. intermission is great too. AND he was in a short film called 'water', which you can find on youtube. definitely worth a watch.

I saw a few films over the Christmas break. I finally watched Somersault. As much as I loved the cinematography, the music, and Australia's beautiful scenery there was something kinda wrong with this film. I can't pinpoint it, but I think it had to do with the structure of it. At times it lagged, and wasn't really as fluid as it should have been. Also, Heidi's character was a little too flighty for me. At times I could relate to her, and at other times I thought she was a bit of a whackadoo. I was also surprised to see Sam Worthington in this. I think in the back of my head I knew he was Australian, but didn't put two and two together. I was pleasantly surprised by his performance. I thought he put a lot of soul into his role. Way better than his stint on Clash of the Titans.

I also saw Persona, which was better put together. At first I thought I was watching a David Lynch film. I didn't really think Bergman got experimental, but he did. It was blatantly obvious David Lynch was heavily influenced by this film. There was a shitload of symbolism, and I feel it's definitely worth a second watch. Elizabet and Alma's relationship was one of major interest. The fact that Elizabet barely says a word in this film, yet she conveys so much in her actions and her face. The one thing I love about Bergman's films is how stripped down they are. There is so much to his films, yet they are simplistic in plot. That, and Sven Nykvist. He was a brilliant cinematographer, and is probably my favorite cinematographer. Persona is brilliant and I would highly recommend this film to anyone who is a fan of Mulholland Drive.

somersault is perfect aesthetically. it is an art film - it turned something that would be tragic to go through into a beautiful experience. i remember falling in love with this film so much, and i still love it, but i can't stand abbie cornish so she kind of ruins a lot of everything for me. i can think of a few other australian actresses that would have become heidi a lot better. i think the surrounding characters and their stories were the sole reason i loved the movie so much. it's just a bunch of broken people.

heaven, i think you should check out jewboy. i don't know how easy it is to get in the u.s. but definitely worth getting your hands on. it's an hour long and it's just a beautiful movie. decoder ring do the music for it too.

i also watched splice and although i thought it was ok, it made me realise why i don't watch science fiction horror. you kind of think, okay, they must know that what they are about to do is a bad idea, but oh look, they're going to do it anyway. THIS WON'T END WELL.

Check out the 7th seal if you haven't already. not anywhere near as accessible as persona, in terms of visual experience, but still classic bergman.

Seventh Seal is definitely a great film.  The last shot is one of the most eerie I've seen in cinema.

Lately, I've been on a Park binge.  Watched the Vengeance trilogy.  Oldboy is just a masterpiece.  Also been watching Kobayashi's "The Human Condition" trilogy and was shocked to see that Kubrick basically cut and pasted the first hour of the second film into Full Metal Jacket's first half.

That was the first Bergman film I ever saw. I've seen a few other Bergman films since then, but The Seventh Seal is still a classic. I watched it at a time when I was questioning God's existence and could consider myself more of an Agnostic. I'm probably more of an Atheist now, but still label myself as the former. The religious aspect hit me hard during that time period, and I instantly latched on to this film. I think there are Bergman films that are plot wise better than The Seventh Seal, but this one is still my favorite of his. And of course, it was visually beautiful.

I've been meaning to see it since it came out. I love Banksy's artwork. Definitely sounds like Banksy!

Anyway, I've been trying to plow through my Netflix queue since some of the movies I have on my list are expiring Saturday. I first saw Dead Man Walking, which was a tearjerker. Performances were solid, and I thought it was cool seeing Peter Sarsgaard in his first film performance.

I just finished watching Faithless, which was written by Ingmar Bergman but directed by Liv Ullman, his former lover. This film was definitely more personal than any other Bergman film I've seen. The film reeked of Bergman, but Liv still managed to make it her own. I think it helped that she directed this film. The central character is a woman. Bergman's films have had women as central characters in the past but it's obvious it comes from the perspective of a man. This time it had a feminine touch to it, which made the film that much better. The film is a little drawn out, but otherwise well done. Anyone who is ever been apart of an affair or had an affair could definitely relate to this film.

Saw true grit, didn't like it. It needed to strike a better balance between homage and realism .  And the lead girl really pissed me off .

I really really liked black swan.  Was not expecting such a perverted and weird movie.

you're talking about Mattie? the girl with Bridges' character? I thought she did a fantastic job with the part. Not really an amazing movie overall (for some reason I was going into it looking for a sort of No Country vibe), but I still really liked it, like most of the Coen movies. Definitely one of the best better flicks of 2010.

I have a pet peeve with kids who act like eloquent scholars.  I can see why others would even love the film, but that one thing completely ruined it for me.

Ah christmas - the receipt of some dough from the missus' folks (plus some input from yours truly) saw the purchase of a fine Bravia TV and a lovely blu-ray player, so finally joining the rest of the movie loving world in the realms of high quality.  As a rule, I like to stay a couple of years behind technology, just so as to avoid getting ridden like Sea Biscuit on the price.  Thankfully I noticed Amazon are selling hdmi cables at a fraction of the price of other filthy profiteering assbreaths - unfortunately though, this means suffering the wait of the lil buggers being posted through to me with the murky waters of holiday delivery schedules delaying the fun an extra few days.  Anyway, back on topic - just watched Terry Gilliams tideland - a gift from my maw funnily enough.  its out there - but worth a watch if you're a fan of Pans Labyrinth et al.

I saw The Wolfman (2010) I really dont know why people hated this film so much,I tought it was fucking awesome ! Maybe lack of story and characters development?I dont know but I think it was awesome.If you dont see any hate on this movie you should go to imdb.com and see that its rating is 6 which is fucking bullshit !

I saw a shitload of films this weekend.

I saw Harold and Maude, and I must say I was rather disappointed. It didn't really keep my attention as far as plot goes. It's a shame, too because I am really into quirky films. Harold and Maude were interesting characters to watch, I just wish the film had been better written.

I also watched Following, which was Christopher Nolan's film debut. For the film being shot on a very low budget, it was pretty well made. Nolan had an interesting idea and ran with it, which was great. I think if this film had more money behind it and experienced actors, this film would have been amazing.

Barry Lyndon was the next film I saw. Not one of Stanley Kubrick's best, but it kept my interest going up to the end. There was really nothing memorable about the film, at least compared with other Kubrick films. When it comes to period pieces, it's a hit or miss with me and this one was a miss.

Next, I saw Dirty Harry which was a great action film. Clint Eastwood can be rather frightening at times, but he can also be amusing with his asshole-ish demeanor. I enjoyed watching it.

The next day I saw Hour of the Wolf. I found it weird rather than scary. Not one of my favorites by Bergman, but that doesn't mean it wasn't  good. The ending was when it really started getting interesting. Overall, I liked it.

I saw Tadpole after that. I like smart films, but this one was trying way too hard. A part of me thinks that that was the whole point, a satirical point of view from the rich and wealthy and another part thinks this guy was really trying to make a snobbish film. Either way, the film just rubbed me the wrong way. I thought the actor who played Oscar was charismatic, but his precociousness was just too overwhelming and dragged the movie down a bit.

The last film I saw was The Shining. Jack Nicholson scared the living hell out of me, and it was awesome. I could have done without Shelley Duvall. That was probably one of the worst acting performances I have ever seen, but I'm sympathetic towards her since I read Kubrick rode her pretty hard. Otherwise, I loved this film, and would be one of my favorite Kubrick films.

Post by: bright lights, big city on Jan 03, 2011, 02:45 AM
A Clockwork Orange completely blows The Shining away, as far as Kubrick films go. It is a great movie, don't get me wrong, but these days I get more amusement out of the Simpsons spoof of the Shining than the actual source material.

I really like Kubrick films, but sometimes the absence of a heart kinda wears on me.  All of his films are expertly crafted and make you think, but I wish he had sometimes instilled his characters with an emotional dimension.

You hit the nail on the head. He was great at what he did, but he had a tendency to over think his work. I think it was Stephen King who said that he thinks a lot but feels too little. Of course he was referring to The Shining when he said that. It sounds harsh but there is definitely truth behind the statement.

Skipped along to watch Mammoth tonight - a good watch, and features Michelle Williams, fast becoming a staple of a good movie.  Has left Dawsons Crack well behind her thankfully - also check out Wendy and Lucy, directed by Kelly Reichardt, who also did Old Joy (mentioned cos its also, you know, good), which featured the same dog (her dog) as in Wendy and Lucy.  Link-tastic.

Excellent choice - six feet under remains my all time favourite show.  Im kinda envious of you watching it for the first time - its the sort of show that will have you investigating the work of pretty much all the characters in it...still waiting for something with a lead performance from Lauren Ambrose - shes killer.

Post by: chick de la lynch on Jan 13, 2011, 07:53 AM
I saw a few films while on vacation. The first one I saw was Brothers, the American re-make, although I saw that before I went on vacation. I felt as if the acting was genuine, although I remember the trailer being different which mislead me when I watched this film. Nevertheless, I enjoyed it and I actually liked Toby Maguire. Strange, but he did a stellar performance. If he picked out more good roles, I might like him more.

I also saw The Room. My cousin begged me to watch it, and I guess it's just one of those really horrible films you have to see to believe kind of thing. I was immensely amused, and I guess it passed the time? I probably could have done something more productive rather than watch that film.

I finally saw Black Swan, which was amazing. I never knew Darren Aronofsky could make a theatrical film, and yet he did which I was in awe of. Some of the scenes made me cringe just because I freak out easily. This is obviously Natalie Portman's best performance. You could tell she was invested in this role 200% from the dancing to her voice. I will be shocked and angry if she doesn't win an Oscar for her performance.

Then I saw The Ten, which had interesting stories and some great  actors. I think it tried to be smart about the Ten Commandments, but as the stories went along it just got too absurd to the point where it got irritating.

I saw Salt yesterday, and was pleasantly surprised. This was the definition of a fast-paced movie. Basically nothing but main characters dying, gun sequences, and chase scenes. Liev Schreiber's in it, who's great, and Jolie's acting was good. A lot of twists and a story that could lead into an entertaining series, I think a good way to sum up the movie in two words would be: "female Bourne".
8/10

I thought adventureland was alright - not one Id immortalise in my collection, but worth a go nonetheless.  Funny you should mention Jesse Eisenberg...I think it may just as simple as his face is the reason you want to punnch him.  Hes got a very very punchable coupon.  continued my Vince Cassel fest with Eastern Promises - it was shit hot.  The violence was pretty gosh darn raw - but highly highly recommended.

Well, I've seen Adventureland and Zombieland and Charlie Banks, all with Eisenberg....the dude has talent, he just hasn't had a lot to work with.  Give him a good script by Sorkin or an unbelievable director like Fincher, he's totally up to game.

However I have to think that The Social Network might be Eisenberg's peak...but we'll see.  I really hope he wins an oscar.

I was watching Colin Firth on the Golden Globes and all I wanted to do was just rip off his clothes. British men age well.

Anyway, I watched The Green Hornet this weekend. I originally wasn't planning on watching this at all but I got a free movie ticket so what the hell. Not Rogen's best writing. I think he can do action, but not this type of action. The film was all over the place, but there were a few times when Seth seemed like he could pull it off. But it only happened a few times. Chou pretty much stole the show, and like in many interviews Seth gave, Seth really was his sidekick. I'm probably being too nice about this film because Seth just looked so damn sexy in the Green Hornet suit. I wouldn't pay money to see this film, and luckily I didn't have to.

I'd just watch it for Kato. He was fast, charming and the ultimate bad ass. Rogen usually does a great job with whatever he does, but this film is his worst to date. His acting was fine, it was the writing that was awful. Then again, the film was rated PG-13, which meant the comedy that he's known for and does best would be left out of the film. It seemed as if they had a lot of restrictions with this film, which meant a lot of Rogen's material would be censored.

I hate to be one of the "those" guys, but yeah I find myself disliking a lot of PG-13 movies just because they should be trying to get away with more things. An upcoming example is The Rite with Anthony Hopkins. It looks creepy, but then at the end of the trailer it says PG-13, and I just know that it'll probably suck.

It boggles my mind how this went so unnoticed at the Oscars. When a movie like There Will Be Blood (similar in both look and feel) can get so much recognition. Don't get me wrong, I love TWBB, but, for me, Jesse James is on another level.

As you said, everything is amazing. A masterpiece.

I understood.

It's true though. I grew up on watching horror movies and I know it happens with all genres of movies, but it sucks seeing one of your favourite movies from when you grew up being remade into a piece of Hollywood garbage. Hollywood just throw in a few big name actors, hire Michael Bay or something, and loosely follow the original plot, then call it a remake... Or they hound foreign films and do a similar thing (eg- The Grudge).

it's not uncommon when we're speaking about 'foreign' movies being remade aka americanised. lake mungo was filmed on a ridiculously small budget yet it creeped me the hell out. it will be intriguing to see the remake because obviously they will have an extremely larger budget to work with than what joel anderson had back here in australia.

I understood.

It's true though. I grew up on watching horror movies and I know it happens with all genres of movies, but it sucks seeing one of your favourite movies from when you grew up being remade into a piece of Hollywood garbage. Hollywood just throw in a few big name actors, hire Michael Bay or something, and loosely follow the original plot, then call it a remake... Or they hound foreign films and do a similar thing (eg- The Grudge).
yeah, my thought's exactly.

The Vanishing - arguably the biggest fuck up of a remake.  It almost made me cry, they fucked it up so bad.  The start....jesus fuck.  That ending....fuck sake.

I saw The Bounty Hunter last weekend and the only reason why I saw it was because my date canceled on me and I felt like watching a shitty romance comedy. It was a shitty romance comedy and that's all I can really say about this movie.

I made it up a few days ago when I saw Modern Times. As ashamed as I am to admit this, this is my first Charlie Chaplin film. I'm 22 and I just saw my first Chaplin film. Anyway, I loved this film. It was smart and I can imagine it being controversial for its day with the whole "nose powder" scene. The ending made me tear up, but in a sweet way. I felt Chaplin's sincerity through the scene and it made me feel uplifted. I don't think you can help but to love Chaplin.

So I've seen a few films over the last two weeks. First one I saw was Middle of Nowhere. Your typical low-budget, indie film with some memorable characters. I now have a huge crush on Anton Yelchin.

I also saw Split Second that same evening. The film was all over the place and had no clear focus. I zoned out through most of the film.

I finally got to see I'm Still Here. I don't know what to really think of the film. As a mockumentary goes, it wasn't well put together. It felt spastic and jumped around way too much. However, I think this is Joaquin's best performance to date. Yeah,  there were a lot of people who thought it was a hoax, but somewhere in the back of their minds they also thought he was being serious. Not to mention this was out of character for Phoenix. I'd recommend it for fans of Phoenix because I think those are the only people who will truly appreciate the film.

I saw my first French New Wave film, or a subset of it--Cleo From 5 to 7. I'm supposed to watch it in my film studies class later in the semester, but I was in the mood to see it so I did. I thought it did a fantastic job of documenting Cleo's last two hours before she gets the test results. It's a nerve racking experience waiting for important medical results and the way Cleo acted as she was waiting was natural yet real and even expected. I was also impressed with how spot on it was revealing how women are expected to act no matter what the circumstance may be, and was the most memorable part of the film. .

It didn't really jive with the rest of the film, so it didn't make so much of an impact as it should have. However, the last ten minutes alone were beautifully shot.

the end made me cry because, i don't know, maybe it's because i've delved so far into the phoenix family because of river. i often kind of see them as my second family. they have encapsulated my life since i was eight and the end of that really hit me. it must have been something i'd read that river said about puerto rico; that it was essentially so important for him. i felt the end scene was just embodying what river had said. i don't think it was intentional, but it felt like that scene just completed something for me.

i watched shutter island yesterday night. it was very slow starting off, the first half hour was boring. leo was quite good in it, but i think the actors with the smaller roles steal the show like haley and clarkson's characters. i like scorsese's method of filming the quite ordinary things in a very scary way and filming the scary bits very ordinarily. it really makes it eerie.

it also took a while to get to the point.

i did like it. it was beautifully shot. i just found that the minor characters did more for me and there were a lot of them that were a stand out. and honestly, i can watch kingsley sitting on a toilet reading an avon catalogue and be transfixed.

the only movie i love leo in is romeo and juliet hahaha he is perfect in that.

i know what you're saying, i mostly just posted to screw with you, haha. i'll give you r&j, that movie was really good. i just wish that i appreciated it more at the time because since he was a heartthrob, i didn't really give dicaprio a chance. obviously, he's won me over in the last decade; he's one of my favorite actors.

shutter island just had a great cast all around. scorcese always manages to get the most out of his actors. i was really upset when the oscar nominations came out and saw that this movie was completely shut out. bullshit. i still say it's the 2nd best movie of 2010 after inception. even barely edges out black swan, in my opinion.

watched several films over the weekend with the big sis.

just wright was mostly very predictable. i'm a sucker for queen latifah though so i was semi-entertained. i wished they had done more with common's character.

spring breakdown was by no means a good movie in the sense of what a good movie is, but it was very funny. it was very weird seeing parker posey in it because i had gotten so used to watching her in 'serious' indie movies. i was still shocked that she was in the third blade movie.

whip it was awesome! i'm not a big ellen page fan. i think it developed when juno was on tv last year and i got six texts from people telling me that i was juno because i dress in jeans and flannel and have the same vernacular and facial expression as her. not true.

the wedding singer. the best movie. period.

Post by: chick de la lynch on Feb 16, 2011, 07:13 AM
So the past couple of weeks I have been watching some rather interesting films.

The Boys are Back - at times the film got melodramatic, but overall it was a good film. Clive Owen never disappoints and the fact that Australia was the backdrop made it that much better. The film reminded me of the times my mother was out of town and my dad would take care of me and my brother and always did the opposite of what my mother did.

Nosferatu - This film was scary, but I have to say I think The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari was a lot scarier. Still, I wouldn't want Count Orlok coming into my room and sucking my neck. Nevertheless, it's a great film.

The 400 Blows - Anyone who has yet to see this film should really be ashamed of themselves. I think this is a film everyone should see at least once in their lifetime. It's beautifully made, and I think it's a great film for a teenager to watch. It depicts that awkward/painful/emotional phase that every adolescent goes through and does it in such a heartbreaking way with a damaged young man. I watched it four days ago and this film still hasn't left my mind.

La Strada - So I jumped from the French New Wave to Neorealism. Another film that was beautifully shot. I still think La Dolce Vita takes the cake for the best Fellini film, but this one isn't too far behind. This co-dependent relationship Zampano and Gelsomina is rough to watch at times, but realistic. I've been in relationships where the relationship isn't healthy for either party, but it's obvious both parties can't live without one another and the same goes for the bulk of this film. The ending almost made me cry because it was sweet in its own demented way.

Breathless - And then I jumped back into the French New Wave. You could totally tell Quentin Tarantino was heavily influenced by this film. My favorite scene is when Michel hides out at Patricia's place and tries desperately to get her to take her top off while Patricia tries to have a serious conversation with him. I think it depicts the relationship between men and women in such an absorbing way. I got lost in that scene of dialogue which was shot in such a straight forward and honest light. The relationship between Patricia and Michel is one that goes back and forth throughout the film and doesn't stop until the very end. It was sharp and classy, and another film I haven't stopped thinking about. And Michel was pretty hot. :p

I Am Sam - This film sucked and the only thing that made it worthy of watching was Sean Penn. I keep thinking of that one line in Tropic Thunder as to why Sean Penn didn't win an Academy Award for his performance and how he went "full retard". He was convincing but the film was trying too hard to be a tearjerker, although some parts did make me tear up. Still doesn't save a film from being horrible.

Charlie Bartlett - This film really started off strong and interesting, then I don't know what happened. I don't think the writer lost focus, but rather didn't know what to do with the movie after a certain point. That's when it started to grasp at stupid clichés seen in many high school movies, which is sad since I think this film had a really good chance of being great. However, I will say the characters were likable. I like Anton Yelchin. He's quirky, confident and charming which makes watching anything he's in an entertaining experience. In the end, the film wasn't a total loss.

His Girl Friday - This a sharp, astute and entertaining piece of work. It almost makes me sad because romantic comedies have gone down hill from what they used to be. Romantic comedies now end every thing in a nice, neat bow which is unrealistic and cornball. This film, however, displays romance but in an honest way where it's almost depressing. The dialogue was quick and realistic. Women in romantic comedies are shown in such a ditzy and embarrassing way these days--I wish it could go back to films like this one where a woman can be smart, independent, career oriented and good at her job. Essentially, Hildy was the one in charge just by her wit alone. A great film that anyone and everyone can enjoy.

I also saw Persona, which was better put together. At first I thought I was watching a David Lynch film. I didn't really think Bergman got experimental, but he did. It was blatantly obvious David Lynch was heavily influenced by this film. There was a shitload of symbolism, and I feel it's definitely worth a second watch. Elizabet and Alma's relationship was one of major interest. The fact that Elizabet barely says a word in this film, yet she conveys so much in her actions and her face. The one thing I love about Bergman's films is how stripped down they are. There is so much to his films, yet they are simplistic in plot. That, and Sven Nykvist. He was a brilliant cinematographer, and is probably my favorite cinematographer. Persona is brilliant and I would highly recommend this film to anyone who is a fan of Mulholland Drive.

Really cool and enjoyable movie! i'm a little surprised that they could come up with wierd shit like this in 1966.shows what i know about old films.
I hope that david lynch at some point has named Bergman and this movie as an influence, becuase no Persona - no Lost Highway, Mulholland Drive? my admiration for david lynch dropped a bit after seeing this movie when i realized that the basic idea from Persona, mixing and confusing identities between two girls, was Bergmans idea from the start

127 hours - 8/10

I didn't know this was based on real incidents until I read it up on the internet. I was expecting Franco's character to die (despite the obvious nod to survival given away by its title), but I'm thankful that he did survive- no matter how 'hollywood-cliche' that gets. Films like "Buried" can suck my ass.

So guess who finally got around to watching Inception this weekend? This girl right here! I was dead ass broke when the film came out, so I never got a chance to watch it in theaters which is unfortunate since this film deserves to be seen on a big screen. It was definitely worth the wait though. It was visually beautiful, which is the main reason why watching it on a laptop is disappointing. The story was so complex but fell together in place. It was great, and definitely worth a second watch. One of the best films of 2010 easily. I <3 Nolan.

I took in the generously available-free-on-Lovefilm 'The Machinist', with Christian Bale and Michael Ironside at the weekend - a good watch all in all, as much of Christians movies are.  Theres the standout grab of an concept from Fight Club, but theres room (I see nothing wrong with the sharing of a concept - more the sharing of a story pisses me off) for that if the standard is kept high.  Seeing Michael Ironside was cool - I've always enjoyed him.  Two things I remember about that guy - my maw fancying him, and his arms getting ripped off on that elevator in Total Recall.  See you at the pardee Richturrr.

watched Carlos, which won best mini-series at the golden globes so I decided to check it. 5 and a half hours long total, but a pretty good flick about terrorist Carlos the Jackal, who I had no background on going in. At times it kind of sympathized him, even though he fought for groups that I'm completely against. But it was definitely worth seeing if you happen to have Sundance OnDemand or whenever the dvd comes out. Good story, action, and lots of subtitles if you're pretentious about film like me and into that sort of thing.

I think you're really going to enjoy Taxi Driver. It's just a great film. I don't know anyone who doesn't like that film. This week I watched two really, really, depressing films.

In my film studies class we watched The Passion of Joan of Arc. I couldn't get over how beautiful that movie was. The close-ups of the faces and Falconetti's eyes--it was haunting. Bergman stole a lot from this film, but wow. Making a silent film intense takes true talent. I just remember how quiet the room was once the film ended. A few people cried, but surprisingly I didn't. I think I would have if I watched the film in one sitting.

Last night I watched Salò or 120 Days of Sodom. I didn't know too much about this film before I watched it. All I knew was it is considered to be one of the most controversial films ever. Usually when they put that label on there it's an over-exaggeration. Not this time. If I had known more about this film I probably would have never watched it. I really couldn't believe what I was seeing half the time, and I could barely look at several of the scenes. It was nauseating, horrific and these wretched images are forever burned in my brain. However, the film was beautifully shot and is probably one of the most important films ever. It explore Fascism, apathy,  complacency, depravity, consumerism...I could  go on. I definitely wouldn't recommend it for everyone. You need to have a strong stomach and a very open mind when watching this film. I can honestly say I will NEVER watch Salò again.

I think you're really going to enjoy Taxi Driver. It's just a great film. I don't know anyone who doesn't like that film. This week I watched two really, really, depressing films.

In my film studies class we watched The Passion of Joan of Arc. I couldn't get over how beautiful that movie was. The close-ups of the faces and Falconetti's eyes--it was haunting. Bergman stole a lot from this film, but wow. Making a silent film intense takes true talent. I just remember how quiet the room was once the film ended. A few people cried, but surprisingly I didn't. I think I would have if I watched the film in one sitting.

Ah Salo...fortunately, I learned a lot about it beforehand - so I didnt watch it.  Your words provide another briquette I can throw on my 'wise move' fire.

i watched the wackness. made me bust out some notorious big and the rest of my cassette collection. very good movie about a young drug dealer.

i then watched easy a with my sister. it was shit. i strictly continued to watch it for patricia clarkson and stanley tucci. i had high hopes for it but fuck, it was just a pile of poop. people should just watch saved instead.

I thought about watching Easy A because of Tucci and Clarkson. I also like Emma Stone. She's likable on screen, and rather cute to look at.

it was just a bad movie. i usually am able to find some amiable things about a film regardless of how shit it is but i literally got nothing from it. then they had to go and reference john hughes, and it could've been done well and all but blah, it was just really cliche (and not in a good way because, you know, i love cliches). it was a waste of time.

Korean revenge thriller. Very good. Super intense and violent.

The killer is played by Min-sik Choi from Old Boy. He portrays one of the most nasty and ruthless psychopaths I've seen in quite a while.

If you like movies like Silence of the Lambs and Seven mixed with a revenge plot, lots of blood and gore, awesome fight scenes - then definitely check this out. Not for people with weak stomachs, though ;)

Watched Bienvenue chez les Ch'tis last night. French humor can be rather weird, but it was a nice movie overall.

Also watched Catfish a couple days ago, absolutely recommendable! Before I give away any crucial information - It is about a facebook friendship and how it turns out in the end. Not sure if it's fake, but nevertheless the story itself is believable and I could imagine that something like this happened before.

Just watched a couple:

The Girl Next Door, based on Jack Ketchums novel - pretty grim to say the least...basically the tale of a guy looking back to when he was young, where next door (hence the title...hey I just got that!) 2 sisters move in with their strangely relaxed aunt who has 2 boys of her own - relaxed in the sense, that all the kids from the neighbourhood are allowed to go round her house and drink her beer.  I wont spoil too much but essentially the aunts view of women is entirely...fucked up in a nutshell,and she begins mentally and physically torturing the sisters (in particular the elder), calling upon the assistance of her sons and the boys from the neighbourhood in doing so. 

And Edge of Darkness with Mel Gibson - Im sure a bunch of you have seen it, but well worth watching if you havent - Ive missed Mel as an actor, he always seems to thrive in roles where he plays a no nonsense, take no shit type character (a la lethal weapon obviously) and this carries that baton well - his daughter is shot in front of him, and being a cop its naturally assumed she was mistakenly shot instead of him.  Upon investigating it turns out she had many a secret of her own...cue the onslaught of revelation and action.

i liked dogtooth.

last night i watched hard candy. now i understand why people were so divided about it. i thought both the leads were douchebags. i was mad at both of them. with the scene that made everyone squeemish, i wish it had actually happened. i just thought it was pointless after i realised what i thought had gone down hadn't gone down. i did like the story about aunt denise that frank told when he was on the table. but you never know with pedophiles, do you?

watched taxi driver this morning. brilliant. i loved it so much. i loved scorsese's two cameo's. the exchange of the two characters in the taxi was mesmerising. keitel was super disturbing. when he was hugging and dancing with iris and saying that stuff...man, that freaked me out.

slow and crap I am I know - but just saw Avatar, which although I watched through the tinted glasses of my flashy tv and the fact it was on blu ray - I really enjoyed.   Way less disappointing than Independence Day.
Title: Re: The Movie Topic (films recently watched, general discussion, etc)
Post by: chick de la lynch on Mar 04, 2011, 09:23 PM
I'm slower than you -- I still haven't seen Avatar. @Mariam - Glad you loved Taxi Driver, but I knew you would anyway. Apparently it's supposed to be celebrating it's 35 year anniversary and some local theaters are going to be playing it. I might go see it.

Last weekend I saw Rosemary's Baby which was fantastic. I'm only acquainted with Mia Farrow's acting during the time period she was canoodling with Woody Allen, so this was a totally different Farrow from what I'm used to. She was cute, bubbly and extremely naive. I had no idea Ruth Gordon was in this film until after the movie. I also had no idea she could be creepy. Overall, I loved the film.  It went at a perfect pace, and you had nothing but sympathy for Rosemary.

Last night I finally watched The Social Network. I have to say, I liked Jesse Eisenberg in this, and in a weird way, I actually liked his character. Part of that reason is because you feel bad for him. It's obvious he's socially awkward to the point where you believe this kid might have Asperger's Syndrome. He was the right amount of asshole. Some actor's go overboard, but Eisenberg didn't overpower too much. It was a subtle performance, which was believable and like I mentioned before, kind of likable. However Andrew Garfield stole the movie, and it's a damn shame he wasn't nominated for an Academy Award for his performance. The score was catchy, too. Do I think this was the best movie of 2010? Eh. I enjoyed watching it, but it didn't leave me with the same feeling as did Inception. Like Black Swan, The Social Network is more noted for the acting and the score rather than the film itself.

speaking of Andrew Garfield - I seen an interview with him on breakfast tv there a while back talking about Never Let Me Go, and becoming the new Spiderman.  Hes a funny sort of guy - a weird combo of confidence and uneasiness - like Hugh Grant meets Woody Allen if you can imagine that.  Anyway - the new Spiderman...interesting.

I watched a couple films this weekend.

Gentlemen Prefer Blondes - I think this film came out just as Marilyn Monroe's career was taking off. Even though Monroe is known for her "Diamonds are a Girl's Best Friend" routine, it's Jane Russell (R.I.P) who really steals the show. This is my second Howard Hawks' film and once again you see a very intelligent, sexy, feisty, independent woman dominate the screen. If Hawks was able to do this before women could be witty and independent, then why aren't many films, especially romantic comedies, doing it now? It's depressing. Anyway, this film was hilarious and Jane Russell pwned in this movie.

M - Yeah, this film was utterly depressing. What film isn't when it comes to dealing with pedophilia though? It was beautifully made and Peter Lorre was perfect playing this creepy murderer. I think this film also brings up the idea of vigilantism. In film and television it's an interesting thing to see, but it's not realistic. No one wins when there is vigilantism. I loved the ending. It was so haunting and yet those final words brought about so much truth.

In that case you should also check out L.I.E. with Brian Cox if you havent already.  Its really good - Paul Dano is in it too, and is equally strong.  Basically the tale of a consensual relationship they have - consequences being that Cox also has another relationship with a young un - cue jealousy and all the usual complications.  Kevin Bacon did one as well didnt he?  I havent seen it, but I heard good things...it was told from his perspective, sympathising with his inability to contain his urges, which inevitably meant it tanked big time...but yeah supposed to be good.

L.I.E. is creepier than all hell thanks to the awesome Brian Cox. It's a great watch. It's more subtle when it comes to Cox's character's intentions, much like M. It's never explicitly stated, but rather implied that these men have a thing for children.

it was very crap in the way that it was terribly told. everyone walked around like they were in a my chemical romance video. they just kept taking themselves so seriously. i know high school is hard, but damn! the plot kept drifting off and every time something random happened i kept thinking, "i'm sure that will be relevant soon". no, no relevance. it goes nowhere. there were a lot of pointless scenes. the ending was a huge sack of implausible bullshit.

it was visually stunning though and the acting was very good but i swear...it was so tiring.

This week I watched Iron Man 2. Not as great as the original. This one seemed like it stuck more to the script, which is lame because the improvisation used in the original is what really gave the movie its charm. The action sequences were better this time around, however I wanted the film to be one complete sausage fest. I can't believe I'm saying this, but the females really brought down the film. Gwenyth Paltrow was completely awkward and couldn't act for the life of her, while Scarlett Johansson was robotic and couldn't act for the life of her. If Pepper Potts and Natasha Romanoff weren't in the film at all, it would have been 10x better. I'm pretty sure that would have pissed off a lot of comic book fans, but they really needed to go.

I also saw Grand Illusion. The beginning was slow at first, but the second half seemed to be a lot more interesting. And of course, beautifully shot, especially the ending. I wasn't expecting this film to be funny at all. Doesn't seem like a story that would make you laugh. The chemistry between all the actors in this film was spot on, too. The only thing I would have changed would have been the pacing of the film. Otherwise, it was perfect.

I just finished watching Toy Story 2. I only cried once, which is my best to date when watching a Pixar film. I have to say I liked this one better than the original. I think the sequel had more charm, more heart and some really interesting new characters. One day I'll make it through a Pixar film without bawling like a baby. Oh, and the ending credits were kind of dirty, which is always a funny surprise when watching a kid's film.

EVER! i then watched lost in austen, which i thought was just deliciously entertaining. it's like they tapped into my dreams. so witty and really funny. after that i watched the 2008 adaptation of sense and sensibility. it was very well done. nothing much like ang lee's version. i was keen to watch it after i found out andrew davies had written the screenplay. he wrote the brilliant pride and prejudice adapation. david morrissey was quite the babe in it.

i watched bloodline this morning. i'd never been much of a hepburn admirer because i had never watched many of her films in the past but i feel like now i appreciate her. i've watched a few these past months because the abc has been playing her movies most days. she's one of those people you immediately take to.

bloodline was a great whodunit? type of film. seriously didn't know who was behind all of it til the end. i had my money on gazzara's character being responsible for all of it. it had me on my toes. it was also kind of raunchy, which i liked because it wasn't a 'look we're gonna put this naked woman in here for nothing' raunchy. it was tasteful. even though a whole bunch of women got strangled while having sex.

watched the rite last night. hopkins seriously just owns evil. i'm pretty sure he even played hitler once in the 80's. he's so good at it. he's drily funny with these souless glassy eyes with the sharp bouts of violence. the demonic possessions were beautifully directed. the plot took forever for anything interesting to happen, the script was full of really bad dialogue, and the side characters were very bland. the lead is not a bad actor but he just looked like an emo ken doll most of the time. he plays a mortician and decides, OH HAY, MY JOB ISN'T CREEPY ENOUGH.

Well it's gotta be better than Sucker Punch. It's the ultimate mindless action movie that isn't done by Michael Bay.

Boobs suck. Then again I hate my boobs, so I'm just providing a biased opinion.

I just finished watching Scenes From a Marriage, and I'm disappointed because I just found out I watched the edited version. Then again, I don't know if I'd really want to sit through a five hour film, especially that one. Three hours was enough. Despite it's story content, I actually thought this film was rather sexy. The relationship between Johan and Marianne is so passionate. There is definitely a fine line between love and hate with this couple, and it's true in Ingmar Bergman's fucked up sense of love. Scratch that. It's not fucked up. Love is that complicated and fucked up. It's probably an accurate portrayal in someone's marriage. If anything, this film made me NOT want to get married even more. Seems like a real bitch.

I think the critical consensus on Sucker Punch has been a little ridiculous. It has its problems (paper-thin characters, stitled dialogue, a horrible last scene, etc.), yet I still kind of dug it, warts and all. At least it tried to do something a little different. I've seen reviewers calling it the worst film ever. Hyperbolic much? Comic book guy much? Have these people seen the shit nuggets that Brendan Fraser regularly squats out?

It has its problems (paper-thin characters, stitled dialogue, a horrible last scene, etc.), yet I still kind of dug it, warts and all. At least it tried to do something a little different. I've seen reviewers calling it the worst film ever. Hyperbolic much? Comic book guy much? Have these people seen the shit nuggets that Brendan Fraser regularly squats outs?
you're absolutely right about people calling it worst ever. 75% of romantic comedies released are worse than this. But Sucker Punch still was poorly written and badly acted, even by the more respected actors in it. That makes it a bad movie. By no means the worst movie ever, though, because the one thing Snyder definitely knows how to do is good slow-motion action with awesome music playing over it.

Unfortunately that's the only thing he knows how to do. Special effects can't save a film. These days a lot of directors rely on it on making it a good film, and that's not the case. Snyder can make things look cool and pretty, but can he actually direct actors? Develop a story? Make interesting characters? Probably not, and for that he could probably benefit taking some film studies classes. Technology and plot can be intertwined, as everyone has seen with Inception. Films with action and special effects have the ability to be intelligent, but Snyder isn't your man to accomplish that. What film critics have a tendency to forget is that some films are just made to entertain and that's it because that's what does well at the box office. With a movie like this, you really shouldn't go through it with a fine tooth comb. Granted, I haven't seen the film but I'm pretty sure those critics were just angry they had to sit through two hours of that film when they could have been doing something else.

Snyder is going to ruin Henry Cavill for me when the new Superman film comes out. I know it. I still haven't forgiven Snyder for thinking he could direct Watchmen  and direct it well. Pure Hubris.

His Dawn of the Dead remake was pretty good and if you noticed the amount of computer effects in that movie was small.  I think he's just gotten caught up in making things looks really cool and not pay attention to anything else.

There actually is some attempted depth in this film by Snyder. There are themes of female empowerment and psychological reactions to sexual/physical abuse. It's not super deep or anything (and a lot of times the film does feel like Snyder going "OMGZ NAZI ZOMBIES! HOT CHICKS! ROBOTS! DRAGONS! ISN'T THIS SO AWESOME!?!") but still, that's more than I can say for a lot of other films.

I just got back from Sucker Punch. It was a very stupid movie, but I still enjoyed it.  This movie has been getting some terrible, terrible reviews and I don't understand all the hate for it. 

I can understand where people think it's bad, but I've seen sooooo much worse. I mean the nazi zombie sequence alone was pretty much worth the admission.

Wasn't there another film that had Nazi zombies in it? Or was it a tv show? Or was it a game? I swear there was something else that had Nazi zombies in it, which is something I don't get to say everyday.

I've seen quite a few films over the past few weeks (This thread needs some movement).

Never Let Me Go - What a beautiful movie. From beginning to end the film was breathtaking. The story was really heartbreaking, too and I will definitely check out the book. Once again, Andrew Garfield was brilliant. I hope to see him in more roles like this one. He knows how to be vulnerable,  and that's pretty sexy.

Mean Streets - Marty's first film that he wrote and directed by himself. Granted, it's not Taxi Driver but you can definitely see where the evolution to Taxi Driver began. I loved the cinematography and no matter how gritty Scorsese's films, they still manage to be beautifully shot. Must be the Italian Neorealism influence he has under his belt.

Jules and Jim - Great film. I wrote a journal in my film studies class and my professor thought it was weird I referred to this as the "world's most bizarre love triangle". I don't know, it was pretty bizarre to me. They kept trading each other off to one another. That, and I don't think he got the New Order reference. Truffaut's films seem to be like a love letter to France. The settings are so gorgeous and tie into his films effortlessly. Not as great as The 400 Blows,  but it's up there.

Rashomon - My second Kurosawa film. I was skeptical about watching this at first because Seven Samurai didn't really do much for me. I was pleasantly surprised how much I loved this film. My film studies professor said Kurosawa was one of the best artists of the 20th Century. Before watching the film, I would have said that's an exaggeration. Now, I feel like I'm inclined to agree. If this film were anymore beautiful, it would have been perfect. I was just floored with how the film was shot. And the music was awesome and really got me into the right mood. The ending was perfect. It was powerful beyond belief and wrapped up the film in one sentence. I teared up, in fact. So yes, I will be checking out more Kurosawa in the future and revisit Seven Samurai.

good to hear, but I always thought Seven Samurai was one of Kurosawa's best, or at least better than Rashomon. Now you need to go watch Yojimbo and Throne of Blood.

Finally got round to watching the Host - off of the back of randomly discovering that Youtube clip of it with Combat playing over the top - really well done I thought, and unlike other far east movies I've seen retained a sense of reality rather than the general vibe of totally and insanely over the top I usually find - no mean feat considering the subject matter. 

Havent seen Syriana - but Ill check the bugger out so I can slip my own viewpoint into the convo.  It seems lovefilm have inadvertantly bumped my account up to recieve 2 movies at once instead of one...now Ill be a full time home body for sure.

I saw this a while ago, but forgot to mention it...The Killer in Me with Casey Affleck.  What a load of shit.

I just finished watching it and I must concur. I didn't know Michael Winterbottom directed this until the film started, which was already a dead giveaway this film was going to be total shit. The guy is a total hack. The editing was awful. The pacing was too slow. The way the music was used in the film was cheesy and stupid. Winterbottom is a shit director and only knows the clichés. Yes, the film did take place in the 50's and maybe that's why some of the effects were campy. However, he could have done some really interesting things with the film yet he didn't.

I liked Casey Affleck's acting, but I felt it was a little too subtle for my liking. He should have been more deranged. Kate Hudson was a pleasant surprise and I actually liked her character a lot. But man, Jessica Alba. She should never act again. It's too painful and embarrassing watching her on the screen. She's pretty but that's all she is. She should just stick with what she knows: posing half naked on magazine covers, acting like a cock tease. Shit film.

Yeah - its a bummer...many times ive stumbled into watching a film, and as a result not really taken it in, and unfairly didnt like it, but with this I was excited to watch it, had set time aside, and was majorly let down.  Ah well.  On the flipside, just watched the Wackness last night, which i thoroughly enjoyed - there was an overriding sense of warmth about it...really found myself loving all the main characters.  Ben Kingsley is in it, which is reason enough to be honest, but the lead role is really well played by Josh Peck - an actor I must admit I was previously unfamiliar, but I will definitely check out his other stuff.  Everything worked well - the c hemistry, the humour...it was a movie where I really found myself wanting the best for everyone.  Cool memory-evoking soundtrack too.

Seeing a Scream movie on the big screen was pretty nostalgic for me. The first Scream was the first horror flick I ever saw and I was only 13 when Scream 3 was in theatres. So it was awesome to finally see Ghostface slashing people up on the big screen.

The "killer reveal" will definitely be a love/hate thing. I loved it and thought it was clever...given the times we live in.

the first scream film is embedded in my brain. i've watched it so many times.

Recently I saw Tokyo Story, which was tedious to watch because there was little to no camera movement and the plot was very slow going. But once you get into the film, it's pretty amazing. Not to mention it hit a little too close to home, which made it a bit of a tearjerker.

I saw Dogtooth last night, which I enjoyed thoroughly. It was amazing this film was shot with such a very low budget. It was demented beyond repair, but I absolutely love the way it was shot.  I thought it was believable, but it also makes you think about how horrible these parents are and what was going through their minds when making up the meanings of words and these stupid, nonsensical rules. The way the children behaved, too was also believable, except for one scene when one of them finds the telephone. She seemed to understand it a little too well for someone who has never seen a telephone. Overall, it was a great film. My first Greek film, too.

Soooooo weird. Normally I enjoy the fucked up movies. Not Dogtooth though. The acting was alright, but I just kind of got bored with it. Didn't laugh at it at all, and I kind of thought the directing and style ripped off Lars Von Trier. I honestly didn't even care for the basic concept of the film.

It confused me when the posters quoted reviewers saying it was hilarious. They must have been watching a different movie because I never laughed when I was  watching it, and anyone who did laugh must be completely fucked up. I must be fairly patient when watching movies because I never got bored with the film and I felt like the pacing was perfect. The cinematography was also great, and lately I've been finding myself really enjoying the simplicity of cinematography like movies from the French New Wave or Bergman films. I thought it was great the director cut the characters in half when a scene was shot. Made it feel impersonal and a bit dehumanizing. I thought he did a great job of capturing tone with those little nuances.

I'll definitely check out Angelopoulos, blixa.

Went on a blitz this week - saw A Single Man with Colin Firth - cinematography-tastic it is, and very good into the bargain.  Half Nelson with Ryan Gosling - really really good I thought - hes next on my 'check out all hes got' list - of course theres Blue Valentine to see, so excited even moreso after having watched this.  Oh and saw Syriana...hard work right enough but fundamentally rewarding...reviews seemed a little harsh on imdb but has my seal of approval.  And Fortunately enough, Beverly Hills Ninja was on the box today - Chris Farley is a sorely missed maniac.  got me all wantin' to see Black Sheep again.

So I spent the majority of my day watching some light comedies.

Hot Tub Time Machine - I enjoyed it to be quite honest. Granted, the movie was stupid but pretty much everything that happened after they got into the hot tub almost seemed...plausible. Of course that's just following the logic of the movie. The movie had likable characters doing stupid things. I like films with male bonding in it, however it didn't have the same charm as The Hangover, but overall it was good.

Easy A - Yeah, I watched it. However I don't regret watching it. The film had a lot of charm in it, and at points it was somewhat intelligent. I think it would have fared better if it wasn't loosely based off The Scarlett Letter. I liked Emma Stone in this, and she made Olive into a likable character. The last ten minutes of the film was complete shit, though and it was apparent the writer didn't really know how to finish it. It's one of the smarter teen comedies out there, though.

The Boy in the Striped Pajamas... 7/10

About a German 8 year old that lives outside of a concentration camp.
Dramatic movie, God damn it makes you glad we won the war, but really not even a crack of humor in this one. The ending makes your jaw drop.

Saints and Soldiers 8/10

A good story about a group of Americans mission within a German offensive, pretty damn good, only an hour and a half. Good characters.

It's a great flick, if you like that kind of stuff (exploitation).

The alternative name for the movie is: "Thriller: A Cruel Picture".

Saw 'Somersault' - about a young girl who runs from home after being caught by her maw snuggling up to her maws boyfriend.  She carries with her an often cringeworthy sense of naive confidence, latching onto to men to enable a forseeable stability.  It was pretty disturbing in places - but yeah, good.  The lead lass was pretty darned hot to...a quality they brought to the fore with the way guys reacted to her.

i loved this when it first came out. i quickly came to dislike abbie cornish though. everyone else plays their role so well. if you ever come across the dvd of somersault there is a short film that shortland did called 'flower girl'. it floored me.

decoder ring did an amazing job with the music. they did the music for jewboy, another great australian film, as well.

Heh - funny you should say that about Abbie - I said to my lady that there was something about her that women especially would dislike (obviously the character she played in somersault didnt help disprove this)...just something about her..ways.

I definitely had problems with her character. She was waaaay to flighty for my liking. At the same time, I found myself relating to her. She just had a tendency to go cuckoo and that was irritating.

Beyond the Black Rainbow:
"BEYOND THE BLACK RAINBOW is a pure 100% pharmaceutical grade trip. Its not for everyone and will either be loved, or hated (no in between). If you haven't picked up on what I'm putting down, this movie joins that small sub-niche of films like PINK FLOYD'S THE WALL, or A CLOCKWORK ORANGE, where the most benefited viewer is the one that is on drugs:

oh no, i liked her in the movie. she played a 16 year old perfectly fine. it was a year later that i just started to dislike her. i could tell early on that she was going to get cast as the pretty girl in every film.

Watched 'Tell No One' - fucking ace.  Similar sort of story to stuff like The Vanishing, and the Girl who Played with Fire - guy is with his wife at the start and after an argument he hears her shout, he heads in her direction only to be smacked about, and knocked unconcious.  Cuts to 8 years later - where she has apparently been killed - doubt raised by an anonymous email he receives showing her in an apparently recent video clip.  Cue much action, revelation and craziness...top notch - I recommend highly.

i also loved that most of the young people that were doing the terrorising were all in shane meadows' films. super.

jehovah's witness is such an insular religion. they are borderline cultish but it was incredible seeing the extent of some people's faith. this was a very good movie. trans-religion romances fascinate me. there was one scene that totally pissed me off. it was the part where three older male elders questioned the main character, who was a 17 year old female, about how far she'd gone with her non-believer boyfriend. NO, IT IS NONE OF THEIR BUSINESS ASKING IF HE TOUCHED HER BREASTS AND VAJ. and the whole concept of shunning and expelling people is mind boggling. there is not one instance in the bible where jesus shunned anyone. if anything, he embraced the people who were shunned by the religious authorities in his day. you'd think a church claiming to be the true church would be more consistent with jesus' example (he did, after all, save an adulterous woman from being stoned to death!).

this whole film just made me think in a way i liked.

Totally saw the new X-Men movie last weekend. Total baller-ass movie. Great cast, good acting, and an interesting cameo at the end. It makes up for the setbacks to the series that were X3 and Wolverine. Between this and Kick Ass, I'm now a huge fan of Matthew Vaughn.

HANNAH.  Fucking awesome movie...about a girl who is trained by her father to kill.  Really good movie, there isn't a shitload of dialogue, and when there is, it's pretty informational and it doesn't saturate the film.  Pretty tight soundtrack too, all electro-y.  Really liked it.

I went on a comedy binge there (not deliberately mind you - just dictated by the lovefilm list) - The Other Guys (Ferrell, Wahlberg), which I thought was fucking funny - good honest off the wall random Will Ferrell fueled improvisation type stuff.  And then Grown Ups (Adam Sandler and cronies), which I was less enthused by - Sandler seems to have gone into super safe mode - a few funny lines, but generally a letdown, much like Funny People was.  Kinda like hes looking for the wider audience vibe and letting himself down with it.  Reminded me of the deflation I experienced after watching Couples Retreat - I felt sure of quality what with Vaughn, Bateman and Favreau being in there, but it was in fact bollocks.

Striking Distance: 6/10, was good, cheesy music and ok acting, sarah jessica parker is ugly

Stir of Echoes 6/10, worth watching, kind of creepy but story is wack, good ending though

Rendition: 4/10 fucking boring, ok story but just drags on, jake gyllinhall's acting sucks in this one

the life of david gale: 7/10, the main girl is kinda annoying but spacey makes up for it

Just saw Inception two nights ago (a couple of months ago I saw half of it then fell asleep)....kind of dumb. That short girl has the most annoying voice. The best part of the movie was the french girl.

Post by: Jerry_Curls on Jul 06, 2011, 06:09 AM
Ok. I agree with what you've said. I loved the visuals, action, soundtrack, yet the ending left a bad taste in my brain. Like...there was no revelation . I know the whole idea of inception and his wife's death is the revelation, yet it kind of felt like it was an afterthought when compared to the visuals.

Another problem for me was the dialogue. Conversations were like rapid fire and I couldn't really stay attentive due to the never ending, overwhelming soundtrack. Hmmmmmm...

I'll give it one more chance just because I do love the ideas presented and Leonardo :)

I still want to know how his wife jumps from a completely separate ledge from him.

And I loved the ending. Leaves it up for so much discussion, but the main point of that final scene is that the totem doesn't mean anything now because all that matters is him finally being with his kids.

Loved everything in it. The scenario, the idea, the concept, the characters, the actors, the music. Come on, Tiptoe Through The Tulips, that was fucking brilliant hahaha. I can see how some people can lose it, the explanations given by Elise sound pretty far-fetched, but I don't know, I was still into it.

Watched End of the Line. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0494224/ (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0494224/) (Don't be fooled by the awful cover).

Surprisingly unsettling and disturbing little flick.

Impressive gore effects and some genuine scary scenes.

The opening scene made me jump like no other movie I can remember. And the baby scene...holy shit

Overall, one of the better horror movies I've seen in a long time.

8/10.

I haven't watched too many films as of lately, but I saw a couple this week.

Horrible Bosses - I actually enjoyed this film more than I thought I would. Granted, the story could have probably used some work but when you have an outstanding cast like this you let things like plot slide. It seemed as if everyone really enjoyed working on this film, especially the bosses since those characters were the most exaggerated and most outrageous. I have to say Charlie Day stole the film, which is no easy feat when you have Jason Bateman and Jason Sudeikis as co-stars. Day has a lot of character and spunk and I definitely want to see more of him.

Trois Coleurs: Blanc - Apparently this was supposed to be the funny one of the trilogy, which I didn't think was funny. At all. Krzyzstof Kieslowski must have had a fucked up sense of humor to even advertise it as a comedy. Despite that, I liked the film. Not as strong as Bleu but it definitely had character. My one complaint about Kieslowski is the heavy handed use of symbolism in his films. I love symbolism as much as the next person, but I don't want to be constantly hit over the head with it. A little goes a long way. Just because you put lots of symbolism in your film doesn't make you a genius.

Horrible Bosses is easily my favorite comedy that's come out this year. Agreed that Charlie stole the show, he just can't do anything wrong. And Sudeikis had so many great lines. The chemistry between the 3 main characters was outstanding. As was the small appearances by Colin Farrell and Jamie Foxx.

Captain America was above average. My mental notes from seeing it last night:

- Chris Evans ain't too shabby in this role.
- Why doesn't Tommy Lee Jones get more work?
- My god this Hayley Atwell is really sexy.
- When is this bail bonds montage going to end?
- At least the Red Skull looks better than that 80s version I remember seeing.
- That was a painfully unnecessary 15 minute montage of Capt America pwning Nazis
- Jesus, Hayley Atwell has such glorious melons.

I saw Trois Coleurs: Rouge last night. Many people think Blanc is the weakest in the trilogy, however I feel as if Rouge was the weakest film. I didn't have a lot of compassion for these characters, while for the other two films in the trilogy I did have a lot of compassion for them. Shot beautifully, however once again the viewer is bombarded with way too much fucking symbolism. Krzystof Kieslowski knew how to make beautiful films, but his way of making his films thought provoking just proves that a movie can be overworked and tiring for the viewer. Kieslowski is an overrated director at best.

watched date night and death at a funeral (american version).

date night was funny purely because of steve carrell and tina fey chemistry. i loved all the scenes in that snotty seafood restaurant. the white cop was very hot.

death at a funeral was as funny as i thought it would be. tracey morgan...thank god such a man exists.

You know that's a redundant statement, right?

I recently saw Peep World which was unfortunate because this film had a lot of promise. What made it really unfortunate was the fact that this film had an all-star cast of great actors and comedians and none of their talents were utilized. The film had room to be longer, and should have really explored each character and at least explain why these people were so dysfunctional. It's upsetting when I see films like these because I know it has a lot of potential, yet doesn't even begin to reach it.

Went and it saw yesterday actually, haha. He was good, as was Lithgow and Franco. I enjoyed it overall, thought the story was good, effects were good, but what kept it from being great was that I thought they dumbed it down. The boss character was retarded, same with Cox's character's son. I got some enjoyment out of them constant fucking with the next door neighbor, though.

I've been watching movies again, and have seen some good ones.

A Serious Man - This reeked of the Coen Brothers without having their typical cast of actors. Great film with excellent actors. Made me wish I was Jewish. Or at least made me want to marry a Jewish man. Not that that's any news. Probably one of my favorite Coen Brothers films.

Wings of Desire - I remember watching the intro in my film studies class and was very interested in seeing the rest. Unfortunately the rest didn't compare the intro of the film, but I was amazed how this film was shot. It was beautiful and looked like it was made in the 60's. The film was hard to get into since the premise is about Angels listening to humans thoughts and there are thirty different voices in a foreign language going at once. I can guarantee it is 100x better than City of Angels.

Winter's Bone - Simple and subtle would be the best way to describe this film. The film manages to be haunting without a lot ever really happening, which isn't easy to do. Jennifer Lawrence's performance was effortless. It almost seemed as if she was actually a girl living in the Ozarks and a camera man happened to be there with her and her journey trying to find her father.

Through a Glass Darkly - Can Ingmar Bergman seriously do no wrong? Really? Amazing film. Each character in this film suffered from some sort of pain, and to make the pain palpable to the viewer is breathtaking and heart wrenching.  It's great how Bergman used the same five or six actors in all of his movies, yet make each character different from the last. The actors never play the same person twice. I don't know if it's Bergman's writing/directing skills or the actor's ability to be chameleons. I'm excited to see the next two films in the "Faith" trilogy.

Attack the Block
9/10

(http://www.dreadcentral.com/img/news/mar11/block.jpg)

Probably one of my favorite movies of this year. About a group of young badass teens who find themselves going to war with aliens in south London. Aliens weren't cheesy since they didn't really show much, Nick Frost was in it so that's always a positive, good story. Just a fun, awesome, breath of fresh air compared to the shitty alien invasion movies that've come out in the last year or 2 (I'm looking mainly at you, Battle LA).

Friends with Benefits was actually not bad. I like Justin Timberlake as an actor, he did a good job in The Social Network and he's good in this too. Guy's, take your girl out to see it or something, she'll love it and you'll laugh your ass off at it.

Post by: chick de la lynch on Sep 16, 2011, 05:25 AM
I watched the rest of Ingmar Bergman's "Faith" trilogy--The Silence and Winter Light.

I think Winter Light is my least favorite out of the trilogy simply because I felt it was a little too dogmatic, even for a Bergman film. I still enjoyed watching it. Very depressing, but beautifully shot.

The Silence had a lot more sex in it than I anticipated. I had no idea how controversial it was when it first came out in 1963. Bergman always has sexual elements in his films, but this was just outright sexual. If Through a Glass Darkly wasn't so good then this would have been my favorite in the trilogy. It was haunting, sexy and eerie. Definitely one of my favorite Bergman films.

Watched "I Saw the Devil" with a friend, who hadn't seen it, last night.

Such a great movie.

I've been watching a lot of horror within the last week.

Videodrome
The Fly
^ my two favorite Cronenberg movies.

The Hills Have Eyes (original) - pretty bad flick actually. This is one of the few times where the remake surpasses the original in every way.
Leatherface: Texas Chainsaw Massacre III - decent time waster, but nothing great. Fun to see a young Viggo Mortenson in this.

Cemetery Man (AKA Dellamorte Dellamore) - one of my all time favorites.

Gonna watch X-Men: First Class tonight.

I presume you've watched a lot of Korean cinema then?  That country is churning out some of the most impressive films of the past decade...Park's Vengeance trilogy, Secret Sunshine, The Chaser, A Bittersweet Life, Poetry, Breathless... all amazing films.

Or maybe you just liked I Saw the Devil because it is a well-made horror film with a great argument on despair and revenge.

Also can't wait for Yellow Sea to come out here, that movie looks insane.

To Kill a Mockingbird - I never read the book so I felt a little bad watching the movie with no background on the book. It took me a while to get into it, but once I did I fell in love with the movie. It was dark and haunting yet still managed to have its sweet moments. I don't know how in love I would have been with the book. The Southern accents were difficult to listen to after a while, so I couldn't imagine reading the dialogue with Southern accents. I'd love to have a father like Atticus Finch. Gregory Peck was amazing in the role and it fit him so well.

50/50 - It's a very sweet film that definitely gives a different take on cancer films. Joseph Gordon-Levitt was very sympathetic and easy to relate to. It was obvious all his character wanted was normalcy in his life and there's only so many times you can tell yourself you're fine. His performance shook me and is probably one of his best performances to date. It seemed like Seth Rogen got a lot of flack for playing his friend since it's his usual character, however I can't imagine anyone else filling in those shoes. If I ever get cancer I'd like to have Seth Rogen around to cheer me up and take my mind off of things. I think the therapist character seemed a little out of place from time to time. Anna Kendrick was likable but she also ruined the movie for me from time to time.

Just watched Billy the Kid, which rather than being about a cowdude, is actually a docu about a teenager who without it being mentioned, is definitely bipolar/autistic/an Aspergers sufferer - such is the regularity of his insightful gems, coupled with his total lack of social skills and ability to discuss anything other than whatevers on his mind.  It reminded me a lot tonewise of Johns Not Mad, which is about a Scottish teenager with Tourettes, where both will have you laughing out loud at various things said, whilst constantly carrying an immense sadness for the predicament they both find themselves in, as well as the bullshit theyve put up with.

I may not be the biggest fan of Mr. Bean but I wouldn't subject him to sucking a dick.

I recently saw Autumn Sonata which was pretty captivating. I never realized how much Isabella Rossellini looked and sounded like her mother, Ingrid Bergman. I loved the color of the movie, too. It was muted, yet bright at the same time. I might consider this one of Ingmar Bergman's most depressing films just because of the content alone.

Went and seen Tyrannosaur tonight - Paddy Considines directorial debut - and boy oh boy he didnt fuck about when it came to tackling the taboo subjects (domestic violence, alcoholism, rape).  Pretty much every scene was preluded with audible intakes of breath around about me at apparent preperation for the bombshells that would greet us over the following moments.  Pat Mullan is born to play the type of role he has in this one - a damaged brash troubled guy, who under it all has a sense of decency about him that has you almost forgiving the weaknesses in him - helped a lot by his frankness.  Theres plenty of discussing to be had after watching it, but yeah - prepare yourself.  Obviously with it being Paddy, theres leanings in tone towards his hombre Shane Meadows (the feel of it reminded me a lot of This is England especially) and that aint no bad thing.

I watched Date Night a few nights back. I thought it had its funny moments and Tina Fey and Steve Carrell had great chemistry. The film lagged at certain points, but otherwise it was an enjoyable movie. Not my favorite, but it was worth the watch.

I just finished watching Cries and Whispers. There was one scene that gave me the heebie jeebies but otherwise I couldn't stop looking at the screen. Beautifully made as usual, but this film was the least experimental out of all of Bergman's films which makes it easier to watch. Sometimes watching a Bergman film can be tedious and emotionally exhausting. While this film was an emotional roller coaster, it wasn't hard to watch.

Post by: chick de la lynch on Oct 25, 2011, 04:12 AM
I saw quite a few films this weekend.

Bridesmaids - I think it's great that there's a movie out there where women are funny and raunchy without being sexualized or dumbed down. It's been a long time coming, and I think it stole some of the usual Apatow gang's thunder. It was well paced and very sweet at certain points. Jon Hamm plays a great douchebag and Melissa McCarthy is hilarious. I was always excited whenever she came onto the screen because I knew something funny was in store. Overall, I enjoyed the film.

Profondo Rosso (Deep Red) - My first Argento film, and I have to say I actually liked it. I remember crying when I heard a woman getting slashed to death in Tenebrae when I was fourteen years old. Seems as if I have grown up, matured and seen worse films since then. The murdering scenes didn't bother me so much. They were cringe-worthy though. Unfortunately I watched the edited down version made for America, so the editing was pretty bad which is something I can't blame Argento for. It was beautifully shot, too which I really wasn't expecting from a horror film, especially Argento. I can't say if this movie has turned me on to horror films, but I am interested in seeing more of Argento's work.

Uncertainty - I loved Joseph Gordon-Levitt in this but I felt as if the writers who made this movie were trying to come off as smart when it kind of fizzled out towards the end. There is a great, nerve wracking chase scene that happens, but when we get to the climax there is no climax. It's just blah. I wasn't fond of Lynn Collins in this role either. JGL definitely outshined her, instead of keeping it balanced performances. There was a lot of potential for this movie and it seemed as if the idea wasn't as fully developed as it should have been.

Kramer v. Kramer - I had to watch this for one of my cinema classes. Plot wise, not my cup of tea. The acting performances were amazing though. You really can't go wrong with Meryl Streep and Dustin Hoffman though. They always deliver amazing performances and it's always great to see these actors when they were young. Surprisingly this movie did not make me cry, so the description on Netflix lied to me.

paranormal activity 2 - i thought it was kind of sucky.

passengers - it was okay. patrick wilson is va-va-voom.

the dead girl - loved it a lot. the performances were superb. i kind of liked that james franco was in it and it wasn't like, "oh, that's james franco". i still find him incredibly annoying though. i sympathised with most of the characters. toni collette was very good in this.

horrible bosses... i thought it was a little like hangover and office space, like a mix between them. the movie probably wouldn't exist without them. although i really loved hangover and office space, horrible bosses is just shit. jokes are real boring and when you absolutley loved the characters in hangover and office space, you don't care at all about these idiots on screen, trying to be funny and over the top. whiny guy with annoying voice is suppose to be alan i guess, and obviously you have this player/womaniser that's suppose to be phil and the normal guy that's stu.
all i see is actors playing a role that's meant to be funny more than that they're lovable in any way

 Twilight 5 or whatever the fuck its at now. 2/10 for actually making a functioning cinematic film and being able to market it to a specific audience. The screening room was so fucking hot, when usually it's freezing cold. I guess the build up of tickly ginies created some sort of fucking genital radiation or some shit. Either way, film sucked and I did not get head.

I actually thought this movie was actually rather funny, and I liked the characters especially Charlie Day's character. I wouldn't go on to say it's the most original movie of the bunch, but I think it stands well on its own.

Only just watched Training Day and Law Abiding Citizen. Both films where fucking awesome. Ethan Hawke's acting was a little unconvincing at times, but whatever.
The shanking scene in Law Abiding Citizen was insane. If I had to get my jugular stabbed 20 times I'd have it done to Engine No.9. The film reminded me of se7en shitloads with all of the pre meditated stuff. It's like if Brad Pitt's character from se7en turned Jon Doe.

Girl with the Dragon Tattoo was a huge dismissive wank.
Title: Re: The Movie Topic (films recently watched, general discussion, etc)
Post by: one weak on Dec 31, 2011, 08:32 PM
Why dismissive? Not the greatest movie ever, or even this year, but it's better than most even if only by effort.

edit: I guess I'll just keep going here as I was thinking of writing a little review anyway.

I liked GWTDT, like I said because I think that Fincher gave the literature a very good visual. Fincher did a great job with the rape scenes, and if you watch carefully he adds his stylistic se7en-esque doomy camera work and look to these scenes. The cons to this movie present themselves mostly within the editing and pacing of the meat of the story.  The parallel editing back and forth, and back and forth between Lisbeth story and Harriet mystery (before lisbeth takes the case, and towards the end) is boring at times. I guess I can forgive this because I understand that staying true to the bulk of this mystery was going to mean a lot of seemingly useless setup dialogue etc. that works a hell of a lot better in literature than visuals in a film. And, the things that were omitted from the story (ie: michael's romance with the other vanger woman) I thought were best left out with everything else going on. Lastly, my small issues with Daniel Craig's blomqvist were more than made up for with Mara's performance. Be neat if she won an Oscar for this role....what a transformation.

just my take....
Title: Re: The Movie Topic (films recently watched, general discussion, etc)

I have been hearing reviews that it's great and reviews that it missed the mark. I've been wary about checking it out in theaters. I think I'm going to wait until Netflix. I don't want to waste my money if it ends up being a disappointment. I'm reading the books right now and I've seen the original. That should keep me occupied until it's on DVD.
Title: Re: The Movie Topic (films recently watched, general discussion, etc)
Post by: defskull on Dec 31, 2011, 09:49 PM
Just wait for Netflix. I haven't read the book but I saw the Swedish original coming in. To me, the story is an average murder mystery that happens to have anti-social character that gets raped/takes revenge. It's not that great to begin with. David Fincher pretty much remade the original shot for shot (more or less). There were some differences but they weren't significant enough to warrant much interest. I thought he was going to infuse some energy into it like the trailer and opening title sequence suggested.

It was not a bad movie...per say, it was just there. I knew everything that was going to happen, it just happened to look a little bit nicer. Therefore, dismissive wank.

SUPER -  Amazing shit.  Underrated.

HOBO WITH A SHOTGUN - One of the most violent movies I've ever seen.  Brutal.  Also really funny.

SLEEPING BEAUTY (2011) - I liked it.  Although I might be biased with a soft spot for Emily Browning.  Not sure about the ending.  If anyone saw it, feel free to explain.

HESHER - Really good.  Not at all what expected.

THE WILD AND WONDERFUL WHITES OF WEST VIRGINIA - Fucking hilarious and amazing.  I think everyone should see it at least once.

THE OREGONIAN - Probably one of the weirdest movies I've ever seen.  Think David Lynch but grittier.

UNTIL THE LIGHT TAKES US - Watched a few Black Metal Docs and in my opinion, this is the best.

Agreed. Although the critics were right about the plausibility of the script, you forget about it with two very likable and memorable characters. However I'm willing to forgive anything Anton Yelchin does.

When I was like 3 years old my uncle used to sneak that movie to his room for me to watch.  I reenacted the cyrus scene and the end scene in spanish class for extra credit.

It was weird seeing Albert Brooks as a very dangerous and scary man, but he should have gotten nominated for something. I'm really surprised the film walked away with jack shit.

Hmm I've seen this movie a couple of times now and I don't remember anyone buying a farm. Maybe that was in the director's cut.

Yeah, they do it in our rec center. Every other Thursday night they play recent film releases. They have three showings and you get to come in your PJs and bring food. Kind of like going to the theater, but a little better. Next week they're going to play The Muppets, so I'll definitely be checking that out.

Story is funny, martial arts are perfect, visuals are suprisingly awesome, musics are ok, jokes are nice..
What else would you want?

We have millions of ''man-ish'' movies, %90 of them are the same.

I don't watch car chase movies. Seen 5 seen them all. I just think Scot Pilgrim is an essential movie for any scene kid. Or maybe the hipsters will give it a cult following in 10 years. Who knows, films sucks.

I'm actually a girl, but I don't mind being referred to as a guy either. ;)

I think the fact that I'm not into those things did play a part as to why I wasn't fond of the film, but I just didn't think the movie was all that funny or interesting. Had it been written better, I think I would have been okay with this film.

Saw it yesterday and besides the final battle the whole movie never really goes anywhere. A joke here and there and that's about it!
The 3D is unnecessary and a scam because it wasn't shot with 3D cameras.

I'm seeing it this weekend, but seeing that it's running at 93% on Rotten Tomatoes, it must be doing something right to please all those critics. Did you stay after the credits? I read there's 2 additional scenes.

But on the subject of 3D, is it ever necessary? When have you ever gone, "Wow I'm glad that arrow came flying right at me"? To this day, the only time I've enjoyed 3D was Jackass 3D.

Movie was good, probably in the top 5 for superhero movies. Royal hit it right though, Hulk was awesome, and ScarJo's only point in being in the movie was to wear leather and show off her tight ass and a little cleavage. So I guess she wasn't really pointless.

I'll be honest, I completely forgot about Kick Ass and Hellboy when I wrote that. Fuck. But Watchmen, I debated with my friends last night. Do we count Watchmen, since they're not really superheroes, but more of civilian vigilantes? But then with that, what do you consider Batman? Where does Sin City fit in? Or Dick Tracy (a childhood favorite of mine), 300, 30 Days of Night, etc? Is "Comic Book Movies" a separate genre?

This debate can get intense...

The Cabin in the Woods.

I don't really know how I feel about this movie. Especially the last 20 minutes. Everything about the third act was so outrageous and unexpected that I didn't know whether to laugh in discomfort or shake my head. Definitely unpredictable, haha. Some of the CGI wasn't so great either, so that kinda took me a little out of it.

But I also admire how utterly batshit crazy it got. Many, MANY "WTF" moments.

Not scary in the slightest, but I can't deny that I was entertained all the way through.

7/10, for now. I need to see it again to be able to give a proper opinion.

One of the best films I've seen in a while. So touching. I have nothing but a shitton of respect for anyone who has had to deal with that stuff.
I cried.

Same. Joseph Gordon-Levitt should have gotten more recognition for that performance. It was amazing. Definitely up there with Michael Fassbender in Shame.

Prometheus 8/10

I just came from the movie.
I was gonna say this while i almost finish the movie:

Its more like a ''Alien'' movie with better effects. But the storytelling was terrible. I think Ridley Scott doesnt have a complete control over the characters. Story has so many blanks. So many nonsense dialogs between chars.

(SPOILER)
Then in the end of the movie they show ''the alien''. I was right.
Also the movie doesnt need a video game for it, we already have ''Dead Space''
So the begining of the movie was about the first human, which dies on that water. Then his DNA's goes with water and become fishes so the world life starts.

Overall : The movie is not that good.. Actors are terrible (except the robot)

But i was expecting better transitions on story telling. Characters were so weak (except the robot)
And Charlize Theron was nothing in this movie. Acting was pretty bad generally.
I dont know what you did like on acting here.
Its not a taste or something, obviously they were bad.
Im gonna watch it on PC again, may be i missed something.

Right.
The movie is huge on many ways.
Its a very quality movie.
It must have a comic or something or whoever draw the storyboard made an amazing job.
Visiual effects are perfect.
(Non-human) Character desings and story are gonna making you to watch and feel like ''whats gonna happen''. The bad thing is they dont really explain what happens. And some non-sense things happens like:

- The robot gives an virus (or smthg) to the guy.(i dont know why)
The guy wakes up, washes his face and see a worm in his eye. But he do nothing.
He doesnt say hey something in my eyes, check me up.
Instead, they go outside and then he says ''hey im not fine''
Yes, idiot you are not fine cuz you a worm was living in your eye.

- Also the robot guy doesnt help the girl for a ceserean.
The girl almost dies but still she says ''thank you'' to the robot and doesnt seem bad thoughts about him.

- The ship fall down over 2 girl, but those stupid girls run vertically. Then one girl falls down, she goes 1 meter horizantal and she saves herself. Other keeps running vertically and dies. (seriously..how stupid is this)

- They see some holograms and the movie doesnt really says why they see it and how they see it .

- Why the last creator(!) was waiting for someone to wake him up?

Those are some nonsense dialogs/connections in story that i just remember.
If those were good enough then it would be a perfect movie to me.

Amazing Spider man

9/10

Just like the other new Marvel movies, its awesome.
This is the SpiderMan that we knew.
Not the other terrible peter parker and kristen dunst (mary jane)..

Story is the story we knew, but its waaaay better than the comic,cartoon and the movie before this one.

It has some parts for children too but whatever.
Felicia character is adorable. New Peter fit it.
And spider man parts are not completely designed by computer like the other movie did.

Pretty good. Marvel does great.
Cant wait for the Iron 3 and Avengers 2 now.

I've seen your last.fm playlist. I KNOW you're not being sarcastic.

I haven't seen the new Spiderman, but I was interested for a while just because Andrew Garfield is in it and he's pretty much gold with whatever he does. And then I saw the previews and I was just less than impressed. It just seemed...boring.

I agree, fuck the avengers and bring on batman 3. I only went to watch spiderman because it was raining and it was only £3. I was pretty impressed with how much more emotion was involved in this one.
I disagree that it was too soon for a reboot because this one has a whole different concept. It's not like they're gonna have the same villains and shit in this franchise.

Because Pixar makes such great movies I set my standards higher for them and this one failed. It's a decent movie, but if you go in expecting character depth you'll be disappointed. It's about as deep as Tangled.

- The ship fall down over 2 girl, but those stupid girls run vertically. Then one girl falls down, she goes 1 meter horizantal and she saves herself. Other keeps running vertically and dies. (seriously..how stupid is this)

- They see some holograms and the movie doesnt really says why they see it and how they see it .

- Why the last creator(!) was waiting for someone to wake him up?

Pretty funny video, we have some same points with'em. You should subscribe this channel, either. Pretty damn good works.

Had no idea they made a doc about him. I'll check it out, I love F1, I remember seeing replays of that crash when I was a kid. Unbelievable how they had like no protection on the walls of those hard turns back then.

Just saw ''Dark Knight Rises''

7/10

First part (60min) of the movie was nothing but a standart cop movie.
There were so many charachters and everyone have so many little stories, that was shitty.
And about dialogs, the director is like ''talk faster, talk, faster, we have no time, quick quick quick''
So many unsense things happened. like :
(spoiler)
The healty Batman beaten by Bane easly.
Then he stays in a cave like prison and eats almost nothing and drinks a few drop water for 3 months  with a broken spinal cord (what recovered by a punch!)
Then he beats Bane with that condition.

Also that oxygen (or whatever) pipes on his mask..
Batman punches and it go out. Bane acts like ''aaaw noo, im deaad, heeelp, ooow'' instead of putting it back.
Then that Miranda girl comes and put it back easyly.
How stupid is this?

Anyways, im dissapointed with this. Still cool but its on shadow of the other movie.

(also..Morgan Freeman in every movie? Seriously?..)

(also..Morgan Freeman in every movie? Seriously?..)

Did we watch the same movie?

The film itself was close to three hours, and the dialogue never felt fast paced. Nolan is known for a lot of things in his films, but fast paced dialogue is not one of them. I will admit from time to time Bane was hard to understand. The first act of the film was rushed, but the first act is mainly meant to set up the characters and story and move on. Nolan needed to get in and get out with the way he outlined the script.

There weren't too many subplots, but the side stories were interesting and had lots of conflict that helped moved the plot forward. They worked together to make a cohesive ending. There were some stories I was more interested than others, like Catwoman's and Blake's.

[spoiler]If you remember, Bane was not beaten easily. It took Batman a few tries before he got to the point where he could catch Bane off guard to destroy his mask. Not to mention the prison scene where he just struggled to stand (Remember, Bane gave him that spinal injury) before he struggled to get out of the damn hole. There was quite a bit of conflict before that moment, so it wasn't an easy battle. Half the film is Batman trying to get the strength to even go up against Bane.

And the fact that Bane struggled after Batman's initial blow is plausible. I hear in the comics his mask was how his steroids were injected, but in the film it's used for something else completely. I would imagine it would be the equivalent of getting the wind kicked out of him. Even though he's a strong and very big dude, no one could recover from that easily. So yes, Miranda helping him put it back together isn't stupid. It's plausible.
[/spoiler]

Morgan Freeman helps move the Batman plot, so no, he's not a throw away and yes, he's useful.

Total Recall   (2012)
7/10

It is a ''total copy'' of the 1990 movie.
You can do 100 different stories with concept of the Total Recall movie.
Instead, they just copy it.
1990 one  has WAY MORE sci-fi elements/characters /ideas than the new one.

This movie is full of fuckin LENS FLARE effect..
Lens flares are everywhere, even if there is no light.
Its the cheapest special effect (which can be done in adobe after effects so easyly) and they kept using it.

The action was good, little bit platforming jumps like mario game..but still this is just a copy on storybase.
Im angry.

I loved Monster. And I have a crush for Charlize Theron.
Recent movies:

Cafe de Flore - what an oustanding movie. Reminded me of 'Heartbeats' in a very, very good way. Creative, touching, very enthralling.
Snow White and the Huntsman - so very mediocre. Kristen Stewart is like the worst actress that has ever been on the screen. Lifeless! However, I liked watching Charlize Theron.
Men in Black III - the movie was wayyyy too TV-like, not really a blockbuster and was a pleasant experience but lacked substance.
The Dictator - disgusting (yet hilarious) parts aside, this was quite a nice experience. Nice references about "democracy".
Cabin in the Woods - the movie fulfilled it's purpose - it's not your regular "mystery killer in the woods" movie, but it plays on cliches so so nicely. And there is a twist that works very nicely with the whole movie.
Hunger Games - I will definitely read the books. The story rules so much. The movie was not perfect but I liked it quite a lot.

So, guys, any recommendations for other movies? Whenever I have to choose what to watch I spend more time choosing the movie..

If you ever have time, check her Very Gaga Thanksgiving.
To me personally this 'event' opened up a whole different new dimension to Gaga. She is very, very intelligent and really knows what is she doing. And to be fair, I think the media is trying to drag her into slutwave_press but she still stays creative and not that slutty at all, if you know what I mean. Not letting her personal life get into the light, rather than her image or music.

She is going to release her next album, Artpop quite soon I believe. I am quite intrigued about her next move.

Same here, I wasn't expecting much from the trailers but it was amazing in my opinion. One of the best action films I've seen in awhile and it didn't hurt that the 3D was integrated well. It's a shame it isn't doing so hot at the box office, because this movie is deserving of a sequel.

Dredd completely surpassed all expectations for me. Absolutely loved it. It had some good one-liners, but they weren't cheesy like how Stallone would say it ("I AM the law!" vs. "AY YAM THE LAW!"). 9/10.

Also, it was very similar to The Raid: Redemption, which is a good thing, in that they just made a damn good action flick that takes place inside a tall skyscraper and it's up to one or two people to bring a kingpin down.

Read mostly negative things about it, but this is a good science fiction movie in my books!
That movie was something like Nickledeon shit.
Worst movie of the year for me.
That and Snow White..

Dredd 3D

I thought it was a pretty good solid movie :D Much better than the atrocity of 1995 with Sly.I hope for a sequel because this was just like the comic dark,raw,crude and dirty.
Awesome movie :D Urban did a solid job.

It was great, i must agree it was better than the vanilla one.

That was your first Bond movie? I'm old.

Go watch Goldeneye.

I wish I could but I just dont feel Brosnan portrait of the character : \ on the other hand I like the soundtracks of the 90s movies which is weird.Sheryl Crow,Tina Turner and Garbage soundtracks are great.The only thing I didnt like about Casino Royale was the awful sountrack by Chris Cornell.

Really you didnt like Cornell's song ? I did. Was nice to have a man singing in a bond movie for a change, and I think he nailed the epic quality of the movie.

By the way, to me you've watched one of the best -if not the best- bond movie. I hardly remember the Sean Connery ones though.

Re-watched Goldeneye recently, although its the best one with Brosnan, it's gotten old, and don't stand the comparison with Casino Royale to me.

I watched it recently again too (got the blu, let's just say I'm an aficionado), still love it. Funny that you guys love Craig so much as Bond. It's widely considered that people are negative to him. Most of that is just old people being old, but a point I make is that he's only been in 2 Bond movies - one awesome, the other pure shit.

Brosnan is my favorite, probably because he was the one I grew up with, but respect to the others (except Dalton, do not like his 2). Goldfinger, From Russia With Love from Connery. I think Moore was the oldest Bond, but you'd probably like his movies. Live and Let Die was great, as was Golden Gun and Moonraker.

Come on Quantum of Solace wasnt that bad. Completely uninteresting especially compared to the previous one, but still above the level of the average Brosnan-bond-movie (The World Is Not Enough, Die Another Day, give me a break!). I did like the way Brosnan played the character, but I just think he was taking part in the wrong sequence of the saga -no.more.ideas.

Eager to see Skyfall. Sam Mendes directing, Bardem as the bad guy, wow.  8)

QoS was a PoS (like what I did there?), but yeah Die Another Day was atrocious. One of the worst of franchise. But just like the average woman in her 50s, I think Brosnan was the epitome of Bond - and made your panties moist.

Just got back from seeing Looper. Seeing Joseph Gordon-Levitt look and sound like Bruce Willis was creepy, but I enjoyed the film. It had a lot of layers to it that got me thinking about the past and the future and the whole "Would you go back in time and kill Hitler?" I think the way the film ended was appropriate and if it ended any other way it would have just ruined the film for me. The only thing that irritated me was the narration in the beginning of the film. I get Rian Johnson loves film noir, but I felt it didn't really do much for the plot. I think it would have been a lot powerful if the images just told the story, rather than a voice over.

Eraserhead is beyond a classic.  And yeah, Inland Empire is hard to get through.  I'm a fan of pretty much everything David Lynch including the shorts.  Rad stuff in there.  'The Grandmother' is probably my fav.

Also, the Twin Peaks TV series is probably the best thing ever put to screen.

I'm a huuuuge Silent Hill game fan, so I'm seeing the movie... It looks like it's gonna be so bad if you don't separate it from the games...  which I will have a hard time doing. But I'm gonna go see it any way.

Also I just watched "Neverwas," with Ian McKellen, Aaron Eckhart, Brittany Murphy and Nick Nolte. It was like "The Fisher King," but less depressing. Movies about those with mental illness always pull me in.

I enjoyed it a lot.us I'd love to hear some recommendations of other film noir.

As far as "Silent Hill: Revelations"...  Just... It was pretty damn awful. The acting was horrid. The way the writers chose to progress the storyline was pretty terrible, and that's with me allowing myself the objective leniency to separate this movie from the game.
So I'll try my best to not bitch about how they changed around the story, roles of characters and monsters and keep that angst to myself lol.

Some other recommendations:

Double Indemnity (Probably the best in its genre)
The Big Sleep
Maltese Falcon
Mildred Pierce


I spent a few weeks on film noir in my cinema studies class and ALL of these were great. I've noticed that a lot of men love Humphrey Bogart. Maybe it's because they secretly want to be him and all his fedora goodness...?

The movie continues in the more intimate direction sat up by Casino Royale, only less intense, with no interesting James Bond girl character and maybe a lack of memorable action scenes -too short- apart from the opening and closing sequences maybe.

Brilliant dialogues and brilliant acting though.

Silent Hill Revelations was just horrid. Only 1 monster from SH3 was in the film... and the portrayal was bad as well. Never again, though I do seem to be quite masochistic with bad horror films.

There were other monsters, but there was only one from Silent Hill 3, the game the new movie is based on. The other monsters are from or based on the game Silent Hill 2.

I saw it  too, and was pleasantly surprised. It was more about his investigation than I though going in to the movie, but I thought that was good. Ending kind of came up fast though. And for the love of god, was the power out every night at his house? It was literally so damn dark the whole time.

Universal Soldier: Day of Reckoning - 7/10

I liked Regeneration a little more, but this was a solid installment.

The fights were just BRUTAL (especially the final one) and it had a pretty disturbing atmosphere.

Scott Adkins is a beast.

I really, really enjoyed it. It's not a movie for everyone. It's a bleak, violent and borderline nihilistic indictment of American ideals, but it is exceptionally well made and acted. It has also received generally good reviews (78% on RT), so calling it a "stinker" is off-base. It's not a commercial success, but I wouldn't expect a grungy, R-rated gangster film to be huge at the box office regardless.

EDIT: Actually, the budget of the film is fifteen million dollars, and it already made seven million at the box office. Another week in theaters and it will certainly recoup all of the money it cost to make it.

Seeking a Friend for the End of the World - 8/10 (Sweet, sincere, heartfelt and original. Great little flick.)

Lawless is the perfect example of a movie extremely well made -acting, directing, etc- but that fails to make me feel empathy for its characters. Mostly because they're all either idiots either scumbags. 7/10

The other movie you mentionned is a nice little harmless movie. Has its moments. Carell pisses me off by using the same freakin expression in every single shot of every single one of his movies. 6,5/10

I'm looking forward to see Killing Them Softly. It'll be released tomorrow in France.

Just watched Prometheus.

Took me a long time to get around to it, especially when I rate Ridley Scott right uo there direction wise.In saying what a shit film.Outside Michael Fassbender, Charlize Theron, and Guy Pearce who were brilliant, the rest of the acting was subpar to the extent it was laughable.The casting director should have been shot.I kind of get Ridley was going for a new heroine akin to Sigourney Weaver but Noomi Rapace's acting was horrid and ruined the whole flick for me.In saying she had a pretty average script to work with, yet still some really bad acting took place in this flick which surprised me.

Pretty looking film though.

I'd give it a 4-5/10.

Just watched The Crow:City of Angels it was cool seeing Deftones in it but what a let down I really liked the first one but this one was shit,What's with the crow guys character it's so poorly developed at some points he seems cocky like he's badly ripping off the Joker then at  other times he acts like a little bitch afraid of a crowd of people dancing in masks ,Not to mention the plot being pretty much the same as the first one.Had so much potential but failed to keep the same gloomy feeling that made the first one good especially the coldness of Brandon Lee as the crow.
Title: Re: The Movie Topic (films recently watched, general discussion, etc)
Post by: fireflyry on Dec 20, 2012, 04:14 PM
Just don't watch The Crow:Wicked Prayer.

It's beyond shit or even laughable B-Grade.It's Z-grade.Pity as I've always thought Edward Furlong had potential as an actor, once he shook off the T2 shackles.But yeah....if you thought City of Angels was rubbish steer clear else you will be asking..."Can I please have that 90 minutes of my life back.."Best thing about City of Angles was the soundtrack.In saying the original had an amazing soundtrack, one of the best I've ever bothered to buy anyway.

It's pretty biased for me though.Brandon was actually becoming a good actor, his first few films were pretty shit, and he displayed amazing potential in the original. Weird thing is I hated the film at release as a fan of the comic, yet since I've come to really love it.

I was really hyped to see Dredd, but the heavy use of CGI blood dragged it down for me. Still, a solid action romp.

I caught Batman Forever on TV. It had been yeeaars since I had last seen it. It's a shitty movie, but the performances by Tommy Lee Jones and Jim Carrey makes it worthwhile.

Seven Psychopaths

Simply brilliant! Hilarious, fucked up, heartfelt, insanely violent and one hell of a ride. Flawless acting all around. Christopher Walken had the best fucking lines!

"Have some pride in yourself. Have some faith in Jesus Christ as your Lord and don't tell those scum-sucking motherfuckers nothing!"

And the graveyard shoot-out had me in stitches. "That's not enough, so he pulls out a shotgun!" Hahaha.

I can easily see director Martin McDonagh becoming one of my favorites. He's a two for two with In Bruges and this.

Don't get the torture complaints I've been hearing, although they get brutal. Some incredibly tense scenes like in Hurt Locker, only downfall was the main character. I get that her life/career was just focused on bin Laden, but I didn't really care for her to be honest. The final act, "The Canaries", was just incredible - maybe the best scene of the year. Even though you know what's going to happen, it had me on the edge of my seat. It was still amazing to see that operation on film.

saw Django tonight

Waltz was awesome and Foxx is really a great actor. Alot better than I thought going in ( fuck that Ray Charles shit he did and won an Oscar for...he did that alot sooner before that movie making fun of him on ILC).

7/10

I watched Django aswell and I loved it,it has all the great quirkiness that you would expect from Tarantino with little bits of humor, made me laugh when Django gets to pick his own clothes and he picks the brightest fucking blue suit, I know some people are calling it racist or inaccurate but I think it's good for the industry to have something a little edgy every now and then film-makers are getting lazy, I've had enough of remakes and poorly done films based on books

Come on.

First part of the movie : 8/10
Last 30mns : 2/10

The movie starts off as unconventional, well written and displaying real and believable characters. Then as soon as the last act starts, everything gets on auto-pilot mode. Where the hell was the director. Seriously, could the ending have been more cliché ?

Overall it's a 5/10 to me.

i meant 5/10, my bad. The story is ok (didnt know it either), but the movie isnt very well build at all, to be honest. waste 3/4 of the film talking about the studios, when after all that matters is the console. but im curious to hear the OST.

The Hunt with the great Mads Mikkelsen.

He stars as Lucas, a respected member of his community, popular among his friends, and a little lie by a little girl changes everything.

Anyways I was surprised people were cursing so much yet the language sounds so nice at the same time.

He is to acting and being funny to what Kevin Hart is to comedy and acting.

I just watched 976-evil from 1989. reminded me of that era in a special way. it's a good comedy. I think it's classified as a horror though.
Title: Re: The Movie Topic (films recently watched, general discussion, etc)
Post by: bright lights, big city on Aug 01, 2013, 03:49 PM
Fuck what the critics say. Only God Forgives was fantastic - great visuals, directing, soundtrack, acting (especially Kristin Scott Thomas who was so so so evil). 8.5/10

Man Of Steel was enjoyable too. You get 2 different Robin Hood's to play your 2 dads, and I'm in. Effects were awesome, I actually liked the actor playing Superman, and Michael Shannon as Zod was just as expected. First time I actually liked and had fun watching something with Superman. 8.5/10

The Act of Killing - gonna scare you away by saying it's a 160 minute documentary. But just find a way to see it. Go wiki the basis and then torrent it, something. 9.5/10

Gasland Part II - dude, fuck our government. And more importantly fuck fracking. Jesus, this doc really pissed me off. Guess that means it worked. 9/10

The Conjuring - 9/10 - well it scurrred me so I liked it. I'm starting to think this James Wan fella is pretty awesome. In all honesty, the first Saw was pretty good at the time (been awhile since I've seen it). He did that, Conjuring, Death Sentence which wasn't too shabby, and Insidious which is maybe my favorite modern horror movie. Nice little resume he's building there. Oh what's that? His next movie is a sequel to a blockbuster franchise that I have a huge bro-crush on? ......

6 Fast 6 Furious - still in the top 3 of the year so far.


Anway, I don't like every movie I see, so here are some grade A pure American TURDS:
Iron Man 3
Star Trek 2
White House Down
The Wolverine

Yeah, not my first choice. It wasn't horrible, but it wasn't good either. Not to mention I was completely lost for much of the film and had to withhold all my questions till after the movie.

Man of Steel was epic.  I saw it in IMAX and all I can say was I left very satisfied.  Lots of special effects and even more destruction.  I give it 4 out of 5 stars. 
The Conjuring wasn't that bad, it didn't give me a fright though.  I left somewhat disappointed.  3 out of 5 stars.


As for movies I've recently watched out of theaters,

Shogun Assassin.  As tripped the fuck out as any early 80's Japanese slash samurai film would be.  Blood spraying - everywhere, in copious amounts.  It's one of the movies mentioned in Kill Bill Vol. 2 and I can clearly see how it influenced Tarantino in the making of both films.  3 of 5 stars because I love campy movies like this.

Here's a quick list of movies I've seen that were definitely worth checking out:
Snowpiercer
Enemy (definitely need to see again. And then again to make sure I saw what I think I saw)
The Raid 2 (still think this is my favorite movie of the year)
Under the Skin
Neighbors
300 2 (Eva Green obv)

Spiderman 2

It could be that I wasn't in the right mood for seeing it, I can't just up and watch one of his movies. Guess I'm not a real fan. Some of the Wes Andersonisms are very irritating, and I thought they were turned up to 11 in Budapest (ugh the fucking Mexico birthmark). I still like his color palette though.

Anderson has good movies - I'll always love Life Aquatic. And I really enjoyed Darjeeling and Fantastic Mr. Fox. Just didn't think this was one of them.

Yesterday I saw the Angry Video Game Nerd Movie.
For a "low" budget self made movie it's well done and fun entertainment.
The movie is trashy and cheesy and seems intended especially for "nerds".
You really have to be familiar with AVGN and the "retro video game reviewer scene" and especially E.T. the video game to really enjoy this, if not it's just an average, maybe boring and annoying  (sometimes I felt so while watching) movie with some highlights in it.
Don't get me wrong, I love AVGN and his reviews and I know the hard work he had to made this movie, but in my opinion, since he announced that he makes this movie a few years ago and trough all the extra attention he became, he changed himself and don't seem naturally anymore, he convulsive has to play "The Nerd".
Even his last reviews aren't good than ussual.
But all in all, it's a good movie and worth to watch, even if you give a shit about retro games.

The Rover 7.5/10 - Not sure what the point of the movie was in the end, but damn the journey was pretty great. Kinda similar to The Road and some Mad Max Road Warrior. Very sweaty, very gritty, beautifully shot, violent, Guy Pearce being awesome, there's angry/hilarious midget, there's a random Keri Hilson song, and hey I actually liked Robert Pattinson in it.

Yes agreed 100% I find it really funny and inspiring, everyone I've shown it to says it's flat out depressing or just doesn't get the humour.

Given your taste can you recommend any other kind of sundance style films? I've watched some recently:

Sightseers - Chris (Steve Oram) wants to show Tina (Alice Lowe) his world and he wants to do it his way - on a journey through the British Isles in his beloved Abbey Oxford Caravan. Tina's led a sheltered life and there are things that Chris needs her to see - the Crich Tramway Museum, the Ribblehead Viaduct, the Keswick Pencil Museum and the rolling countryside that separates these wonders in his life. But it doesn't take long for the dream to fade. Litterbugs, noisy teenagers and pre-booked caravan sites, not to mention Tina's meddling mother, soon conspire to shatter Chris's dreams and send him, and anyone who rubs him the wrong way, over a very jagged edge.

Primer - At night and on weekends, four men in a suburban garage have built a cottage industry of error-checking devices. But, they know that there is something more. There is some idea, some mechanism, some accidental side effect that is standing between them and a pure leap of innovation. And so, through trial and error they are building the device that is missing most. However, two of these men find the device and immediately realize that it is too valuable to market. The limit of their trust in each other is strained when they are faced with the question, If you always want what you can't have, what do you want when you can have anything?

maps to the stars - The Weiss family is the archetypical Hollywood dynasty: father Stafford is an analyst and coach, who has made a fortune with his self-help manuals; mother Cristina mostly looks after the career of their son Benjie, 13, a child star. One of Stafford's clients, Havana, is an actress who dreams of shooting a remake of the movie that made her mother, Clarice, a star in the 60s. Clarice is dead now and visions of her come to haunt Havana at night... Adding to the toxic mix, Benjie has just come off a rehab program he joined when he was 9 and his sister, Agatha, has recently been released from a sanatorium where she was treated for criminal pyromania and befriended a limo driver Jerome who is also an aspiring actor.

I wouldn't say they're wrong for calling it depressing, it definitely has some bummers, but mostly it's just a fun watch. Mike and Mark are awesome.
I don't really watch a lot of movies though, so you'll have to look elsewhere for recommendations. However, anyone who hasn't seen American Movie should do themselves a favor and check it out.

Totally. I also find it difficult to describe to other people because there's such an original coolness to it, while somehow also drawing from so many different genres. Not really a slasher movie, but I see inspiration from those types of movies from 20 years ago. Maybe 1 or 2 horror scenes. Not really an action movie, yet there's some incredible action sequences in there.

On the other hand, I did see Nightcrawler and it was great. Very creepy, and I can actually see a lot of stuff in the movie paralleled to real life local news.  If it bleeds, it leads.

Between this and Enemy, 2014 is the year of the Gyllenhaal. Both are easily in my top 10.

Great great great. Sometimes I was lost and didn't understand some shit but they explain everything as if you were a toddler. Nice photography and storyline. This one goes to the Oscar too, obviously. Christopher Nolan is a genius and I don't think he is overrated.

I think something good could come from this, the VOD their planning could be really successful and force the industry to realise they need to update their content delivery methods, at the moment their delivery is so outdated it's not funny, your not going to stop piracy completely that's naive what you can do is give potential pirates a good legal alternative, I wouldn't pirate movies if I could watch it at home legally, I'd be happy to pay the price of the ticket if I could sit in the comfort of my home and start the movie when I wanted and pause it when someone leaves the room, they could even charge less or just take the extra profit because there would be no movie theatre taking a cut.

You are 100% spot on. I am glad this movie is seeing the light of day when things looked dire last week, and I'm pumped to see it. This could make a killing if they release it soon on VOD. I think some form of VOD is the future (maybe yet another monthly subscription service), and I'm all for it. Half the movies I want to see in theaters are limited release and I really hate waiting months and months. Just release everything digitally on a specific date, like Netflix does. Inherent Vice is the current example of a movie I've been dying to see since it's "release" on Dec 12. And of course it's only playing in LA and NY for who knows how long.

Saw Silence tonight and I gotta say pretty solid work right there by Scorsese.
Andrew Garfield is really choosing really good characters. He did a great job here and same with Hacksaw Ridge that was snubbed at the Golden Globes.

I watched hacksaw ridge last year, good movie.
I want to see silence, this movie is based on a book written by a japanese author... This was the 16th century. The Portuguese were a highly advanced (for the time), seafaring, expansive world empire. The Portuguese had a very large empire and were the first ocidental people landing in Japan, search Nanban. I'm curious to see...

Considering I'm a bit of a comic geek... No. I do want certain films *coughDCcough* to be better, but I don't want the " fad " to just stop. I can see the " they're all the same " complaints, but there's always a game changer every once in a while, like Logan. Logan was a phenomenal film, " superheroes " or not .

As for that Justice League trailer, a new one came out and while the film looks promising.... EVERY Snyder trailer looks promising ( well, almost every trailer ) ... But then you get the actual movie.... So fingers crossed, I guess.

Aftermath is worth watching if you like a dark drama where you know something bad is gonna happen sooner or later, like We Need to Talk About Kevin. Schwarzenegger was a bad choice though obviously.

Easily the best X-Men/Wolverine movie for me ( not that the other two solo Wolvie films were much competition... The second one started off great, at least, but the third act really brought it down for me. Still not as bad as X-Men Origins, though, for sure ) , and probably the best comic book film since The Dark Knight . It's ballsy, bleak, violent, and will tug at your fucking feel-strings hard , considering this is the last time we'll see Hugh Jackman and Patrick Stewart play these characters. Hopefully, at least... Otherwise, this sendoff would lose its impact.

Personally I didn't enjoy any of the solo Wolverine films, so I've got high hopes for this one. Apocalypse is definitely worth if you've already seen the rest of the X-men films.

Yeah, that looks pretty good. Tbh, though, I haven't really seen much of the previous Alien films, and Blade Runner is one of my favorite Scifi/Neo Noir films, so my excitement is leaning a little more towards Blade Runner 2049.

Jared Leto was in the beginning of the trailer and I'm STILL hyped for it , lol

Wonder Woman was ... Wonderful.


* BA DUM TISSS *

No really, I'm happy DC finally has a great film that isn't centered around Batman or Superman. It's a very enjoyable film with all kinds of great cast members ( Robin Wright, David Thewlis, etc. )

The Mummy 4DX was ...awesome. I went into the movie with a healthy dose of skepticism. 4DX is, quite honestly, shockingly exciting. Love the Mummy!

Spider-Man Homecoming was sooooo great ! As a huge Spidey fan, I can say I was satisfied with this portrayal. Perfect combination of Peter Parker and Spider-Man ( Tobey was the better Peter to me , whereas Andrew was the better Spider-Man, if that makes any sense ) , Keaton's Vulture is sympathetic yet totally menacing when he needs to be , and everything is so ridiculously relatable that I felt like I was back in high school when they had those shitty morning " news " shows with the shitty greenscreen and all just like how it was in my high school lol. Glad Spidey's back where he belongs at Marvel, even though... Ya know... Sony's still gonna fuck it up most likely

Great conclusion to a great trilogy. Looking forward to get another Caesar's bust just like Dawn Of The Planet Of The Apes.

Dunkirk

Underwhelming and over hyped to the max by Nolan fans and critics :/
Title: Re: The Movie Topic (films recently watched, general discussion, etc)
Post by: bright lights, big city on Jul 30, 2017, 05:55 PM
thought Dunkirk was one of Nolan's best movies yet. Visually stunning and tense for the whole 90 minutes.

Only complaint is that Nolan still can't fucking find a good sound mixer. For the little dialogue there was, gonna need some subtitles for half of it.

Post by: Korea Rounding on Jul 31, 2017, 08:06 PM
Fuck it. DUNKIRK is Nolan's masterpiece. A magnificent audiovisual experience at all levels. Not a single (!) mediocre picture frame. And this comes from one who thinks Inception and Interstellar are overrated.

Blade Runner 2049.

Denis Villeneuve did the impossible and made a more than worthy sequel to the greatest sci-fi movie ever.

This was beautiful.

I'm seeing it this weekend, and I can't wait. Looks gorgeous, and I've been confident in it since hearing Villeneuve was attached to direct this. Got such a hard-on for his movies.

You're in for a treat! It's great. Really great...and I need to see it again. So much to digest.

And Hans Zimmer has done it again. I was afraid that the soundtrack would be too bombastic ala Dark Knight (love that, but it doesn't fit into the Blade Runner realm), but it was just perfect. Intense and atmospheric.

A lot of BRAHHHMS, but I still liked the score, it fit with the scenes. I actually did enjoy 2049 more than the original. Visually, up there with my favorites like Fury Road, just every scene was incredibly beautiful (Like Wallace's water office especially). Roger fucking Deakins should finally get awarded for this one.

Agreed. Unfortunately, it's doing so poorly in the box office that I might not get the chance to see it in theaters a 2nd time.  The general public just doesn't often appreciate art. I know that kinda sounds pretentious , but that's just my thoughts on it ; it's a beautiful work of art, from head-to-toe. It not only perfectly replicates ( pun intended ? lolol ) the themes, symbolism and style of the first movie, but it improves upon those elements . I'll probably sound like a dickhead for this , but I definitely wanna see it in 3D. Just outstanding visuals.



American Made was also tons of fun.

The best movie of 2023 is undoubtedly 'Sound of Freedom.' The year 2024 is off to a good start
